The Congress is a dysfunctional institution; it's broken. One of our three branches of government is broken.

Carl Bernstein

We've never had our injustices rectified from the top, from the president or Congress, or the Supreme Court, no matter what we learned in junior high school about how we have three branches of government, and we have checks and balances, and what a lovely system.

P. J. O'Rourke

Grant Shapps

In our Constitution governmental power is divided among three separate branches of the national government, three separate branches of State governments, and the peoples of the several States.

Robert W. Welch, Jr.

I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken - and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.

Margaret Mitchell

Our students are not broken. Our teachers are not broken. It's our system that has been broken.

Gretchen Whitmer

Every Indian outbreak that I have ever known has resulted from broken promises and broken treaties by the government.

Buffalo Bill

We must promote upward mobility, starting with solutions that speak to our broken education system, broken immigration policy, and broken safety-net programs that foster dependency instead of helping people get back on their feet.

Paul Ryan
