It's no worse than any of the other, non-democratic stuff that goes on in politics already, I guess.

Except stuff coming down from the Supercongress can't be discussed, amended, filibustered ect.  That and the President is the 13th member?  Serious?  Lol

President
Head of the UN Security Council - Against the Constitution
Nobel Peace Prize Recepient(Really?  LOL) - A complete joke inserted for humor value
Council of Governors(created and picked by Obama) - Subverts Government Departments and indivual States Rights
Head of the Super Congress(created and picked by Obama) - Subverts Constitutional Legislative Rights

Dictator anyone?

Yep.  So how do we get the government back from them?     (Trick question  )

Sounds exactly like China's government. A small, fast steering committee that can quickly decide on "issues" without endless discussion or filibustering.

It would be more efficient, and prevents petty ideological issues from getting in the way. Democracy is only a shill, these days, no matter what you vote everyone knows where the government is going. After all it's the same guys sponsoring both political 'sides'. So why not abandon it completely...

Desirability aside, I doubt the US could out-do China in its own game.
