metadata.value: In 1960 one of the leading researchers of the American Presidency, professor and an adviser
  to a number of US presidents Richard Neustadt formulated the iconic formula where presidential
  power needed to cooperate with the Congress — persuade, negotiate and compromise.
  But since political reality has changed so deeply, today only a God gifted negotiator is able to
  fulfill its power in polarized Washington, D.C. A modern day president should be a legislator
  and a showman rolled into one to succeed in his mission. According to the Constitution, the
  American legislative process is based on the consensus between all participants, while both
  the President and the Congress have the power of legislative initiative. It is the president who
  is responsible for gaining this consensus between all the initiators. In time of political polarization
  parties which traditionally had been the facilitators of this way to compromise became
  the main obstacles. From the presidential ticket to the Congress, they turned out to be the
  main headache of the president. Joe Biden came to White House with a reputation of being
  a skilled compromiser. But while it has been his advantage with the electorate, the left wing
  of his party strongly opposes his centrist ideology. Donald Trump named himself a brilliant
  deal maker, but his business experience of making deals appeared to be irrelevant in polarized
  D.C. Why has it turned out to be so hard to bring a consensus to today’s political process? Will
  Biden be able to change this trend and reunite the Nation as he promised during his inauguration?
