Even if that is true, the US's proven record does not include the current administration.
It excludes the current administration, the separation of powers goes a long ways here to help insure things are not overly influenced by internal politics. Worst case is you stall until things change, which is not much of an issue when dealing with the amounts of money that matter in these cases.
I don't think our system of separation of powers was designed with the modern political party system we currently have in mind.
