I heard George use the phrase "my government" recently so I guess Schumer isn't the only one confused about their system of government.

If I can say my government, why can't Bush. Isn't he still an American, a voting American?

The phrase is generally used in a parlimentary system where the PM puts together a voting block to get his program through. In the States, the Pres gets to fill a bunch of seats in the executive branch but, rumor has it, does not control the legislative function. Either George feels he owns the whole government or he's been hanging with Blair too much.

Cromwell dissolved the "Rump" Parliament in order to become Lord Protector - effectively setting himself up for 5 years the only dictator Britain has ever known. He wasn't challenging a tyrant (Charles I was executed in 1649) he was overthrowing the Republic.
Not sure that the comparison really works...

In context George was talking about his administration. He's just parroting Tony. His government is the same as my government, but his administration is not my administration.
