This is pretty much the outcome of every single petition on the whitehouse site.
-Someone requests some completely common sense thing happen.
-Thing interferes with huge company making lots of money.
-Whitehouse says something like "while we agree with you, we wont do anything to help, cheers!".
Congress represents the people. The Executive branch carries out the law enacted by the representatives of the people.
The leader of the Executive branch is really the most input people get into the Executive branch (and even what we have now is much more representative of a popular vote than what the Constitution's framers had originally intended).

Cool, thanks representatives of the people?
