Questioning Authority

I'm sitting here reading email and drinking my morning coffee and listening to the Prime Minister's Questions on BBC radio. Every time I listen (or watch on CSPAN) to this weekly British political tradition, I wonder what American politics would be like if our President had to face Congressional questioning every week.

Despite the obvious political poopsmithing, this practice seems like a relatively easy way to promote accountability in our government. I have more to say about this, I think, but now it's time to go to work.
