President's Question Time

If you've ever seen coverage of the House of Commons in Britain, you've probably seen Prime Minister's Question Time too. There's a bunch of rules, but it boils down to the PM having to answer nice and not-so-nice questions from members of Parliament.

Why doesn't America have a similar thing for the President? If anything, the President seems to have even greater power than the British PM. Even if it was only once a month for an hour, wouldn't it be nice to see The Leader Of The Free World^(tm) fielding open questions from Congress?

I suppose one can dream...

Yes, this was brought on by the "debate" scheduled tonight where the candidates aren't even allowed to ask each other questions. Just in case you were wondering.
