John, this is coming from you?  The singularity is less than two years away.  Leave those worries to those of us who think the singularity will take longer than that.

I see, so that problem will likely go away in less than a year, still before the singularity.

>…The current POTUS can and has ordered the House Of Representatives to do that, and the House obediently obeyed; but he can't do that in the Senate because there are only 53 Republican zombies in the Senate and he needs 7 more zombies to stop a Democratic filibuster (he already has a zombie vice president to break the tie). If the midterm elections produce 7 more zombie Senators who refused to think for themselves then it's game over, the Constitution is dead.

So don’t worry then John.  I can assure you, that outcome you mentioned will not come to pass.  The in party usually loses seats in both houses of the legislature.  I predict the house will switch hands, the senate will probably be about a break-even.  If there is another extended shut-down, both houses will likely switch hands.  The legislators are well aware of this and may opt for an extended shutdown.  I don’t see why not go with that strategy.  Do you?
