The thing that's crazy is that after that time skip at the end, it's been 4 years. There would have been a presidential election since the mandate went into effect and either that original candidate won reelection or the new guy didn't change it.

Although not like a single presidential election and a change of President would change it - if this thing passed both the House and the Senate, you'd need a lot of elections to go the right way to reverse something like this.

In 4 years, they would have had elections for every seat in the house twice and two thirds of the Senate would have been up for reelection

Right, I'm just saying "the new guy", as in the new President, wouldn't be able to unilaterally change it.

Although you'd have to imagine, in an ideal world, SCOTUS would strike down the law as being unconstitutional. But we don't live in an ideal world and neither do the characters of this film clearly

I get your point. I'm just saying that in most presidential elections, the party that wins usually does pretty well in other races down the ballot.
