The Presidential Faustian Affair

Can a popular President pass historic legislation or will her proposals be blocked by a determined minority? What will it take to overcome the opposition to her legislation? Will compromise guarantee success? Should she ask for help from the American people? How far would you go to obtain an historic political victory? What would you trade for something you knew the country needed but would never pass the U.S. Senate? Maybe a covert operation would work. Could you keep the secret? Can you trust the other side? Would you make a deal with the devil? Is it worth surrendering your soul? Which issue would you select to trade your life for?
