As much as it offends my seperation of powers sensibilities from a philosophical point of view, (IMPERIAL PRESIDENCY/EXECUTIVE TYRANNY/DICTATOR BORE!!!!) from a game play aspect, one can hope that this will at the very least not cause any problems. Perhaps even generate the active interaction that frankly could have happened under the old system, but did not for frankly many of the same reasons nothing else happened (lacking a crazy pole as PPT).
Since this has been around since December, and it didn't cause any problems up until now, I doubt we will see problems arise now, half a year later.
