In most of Europe, if a government fails spectacularly, parliament can bring it down, through a new government or new elections. In the US, if an administration fails spectacularly, very little can happen until the midterms, and even then, the midterms only constrain the president, they do not remove him. It's like watching a house on fire, then being told the fire truck only comes by in November every four years. The US is in serious need of constitutional reform.
