Examples

“The Constitution deliberately makes the President and the Congress competitors as well as partners. The Founding Fathers created an elaborate system of checks and balances to keep ⟳ each partner self-reliant while still assuring their interdependence. No brief account can fully capture ⟳ the complexity of this relationship, in which each partner contributes his own ⟳ share ⟳ of stubbornness, pride, hostility, warmth, suspicion, skill, and affection.”
