Boy would I love it if the POTUS had to go before Congress every seek to answer questions.
I agree. I have often thought such sessions would be good for American democracy. Probably will never happen, though.
One problem is, Congress would need someone like the Parliamentary Speaker of the House--not like the Soeaker of the House in Congress, but an impartial person who keeps order and has the power to remove members from the floor as was done in the clip here. The pariamentary speaker does not engage in the political debates at all, but is there solely to keep order and make sure the rules are followed by everyone, regardless of his or her party or position in a debate. If Congress were to have si ilar "question time" sessions, the parliamentary speaker would need another name because he or she is nothing like our Speaker of the House who is anything but impartial and wields power for his own party--and who needs someone to impose order on him as much as anyone.
There are many reasons a parliamentary system would be better for the United States than the mish-mash we have in Congress, where no one seems to be in charge of order and individual power is everything.
I don't see it happening, though. Congress itself would never allow it because it tends to reduce the power of Congressional members, and in the US, power is all that matters.
