well, lets look at the up coming election in this scenario...

donald trump is the ceo of a publically owned, multi faceted, for profit conglomerate...

he is in his first term as ceo, elected by the vote of the stock holders agents...

think of congress as the board of directors, but elected directly by the vote of the stock holders, to keep a sharp eye on the new ceo; to make sure he is pursuing stock holders profit goals and not just his own...

and think of the supreme court as an independent review agency, such as consumer reports, the fda, etc...

as a voting stock holder, you will have the option to re elect ceo trump for a second term in 2020...or replace him...

the questions are simple...

will trump perform in 2021 and beyond to your satisfaction?

will he generate the returns and growth of the value of your stock holdings to meet your goals...

and finally, is there another party vying for the top management spot, that appears to be able to do a better job than our current ceo?
