We have checks and balances in place. Trump would be gridlocked for 4 years.

Hillary however has a paved road ahead of her, and what will be branded as a "mandate".

I am truly scared of what this country will be after 8 years of her rule.

We do have checks and balances, but the president is in pretty direct control of the military. He can order essentially whatever operations he pleases, and they are to be carried out without much question or deliberation, if that is his wish. That's what worries me most.
