You have a point. And so do I. Is there a publicly traded company that you know that appoints its chief executive for a fixed term of 4 years with the rules set up in such a way that it is nearly impossible to remove him, because, say, the lowest paid, lowest intelligence workers would have to approve his removal? Well, a prime minister in parliamentary systems, that is the chief executive, can be relatively easily removed. The president in such systems is elected for a fixed term and does not wield much day to day executive power. All points about morality, God and so on being perfectly valid, but in setting up executive powers, our Founders blew it!

granted it may be too difficult to remove the executive but i would assume the founders imagined enough of americans would revolt before they’d let a tyrant rule over them. the founders revolted over a lot less.

they did leave that clause/option on the table.

maybe you just feel like hanging it o thgem, that’s fine. i really don’t as they knew the vulnerabilities and it’s hard for them to think of all contingencies. i don’t think most envisioned the serious possibility of a country as it is today.
