Les bastaba apretare un botón y las máquinas lo hacían todo por ellos. Gradualmente fueron desapareciendo las mesas, los teléfonos, los Leonardo da Vinci, las rosas té, las tiendas de antigüedades,f los discos con las nueve sinfonías de Beethoven, el vino de Burdeos, las golondrinas,g los cuadros de Salvador Dalí, los relojes, los sellosh postales, los alfileres,i el Museo del Prado, la sopa de cebolla, los transatlánticos, las pirámides de Egipto, las Obras Completas de don Benito Pérez Galdós.j Sólo había máquinas. Después, los hombres empezaron a notar que ellos mismos iban desapareciendo paulatinamentek y que en cambiol las máquinas se multiplicaban. Bastó poco tiempo para que el número de los hombres quedase reducido a la mitadm y eln de las máquinas aumentase al doble y luego al décuplo.ñ Las máquinas terminarono por ocupar todo el espacio disponible.p Nadie podía dar un paso, hacer un simple ademánq sin tropezarse conr una de ellas.

Despite the seemingly immense powers at the president's disposal, the president is limited in which he or she can accomplish, or even attempt. In our system of checks and balances, the president must share some powers with the legislative and judicial branches of government. And the president's power is checked not only by these institutions, but also by the media, public opinion, and the voters
The founders hoped that this system of shared power would lessen the chance of tyranny. The consequence, however, has sometimes been an inability by the president to exercise decisive leadership. Secretary of Defense William Cohen once said about the American system of checks and balances, "The difficulty with this diffusion of power...is that everyone is in check, but no one is in charge." Some scholars believe the relationship between Congress and the president is the most important one in the American system of government. Congress has the upper hand in relation to the president in some distinct areas, primarily in passing legislation. In some other areas, though, particularly in foreign affairs, the president can exert tremendous power that Congress is virtually unable to check. Congress has the advantage over the president in the areas of legislative authorization, the regulation of foreign and interstate commerce, and some budgetary matters. Of course, as you have already read, the president today proposes a legislative agenda and a budget to Congress every year Nonetheless, only Congress has the power to pass the legislation and appropriate the funds. The most the president can do constitutionally is veto an entire bill if it contains something that the president does not like. In the first paragraph, the word tyranny means a. a lack of government. b. need for political leadership. c. government involving shared power. d. government by an absolute ruler.
