In truth, neither Congress nor the executive can claim to represent the undivided will of the American people. It is arguable whether such a thing even exists in the American system, as the public is not a single entity but an ever-shifting set of groups and interests. Congress represents the American people in their diverse and fractious unity, and the president represents a will of some of the people, briefly assembled for a fleeting purpose, to dissipate until it forms anew in the next election. It is simply a conceptual error to think of democratic legitimacy as a grant embedded in a single person. It’s better to see it as a relationship between our political institutions and the publics they serve, each responsive to the other as they work together to do the business of government.
