IOW, if Congress is willing to let Osama Bin Laden or Mickey Mouse be President, then the rest of the country is stuck with him and nobody can do a darn thing about it.

Nice to know that’s what you think. There is nothing to hold Congress accountable to the Constitution. Our Constitution is only as secure as the Congress that has - what - 8% approval and is less appreciated than having a root canal.

And if Congress is told that the Soros communist-Islamist cabal will collapse the US economy unless the critters do as they’re told, then that’s the end for the US of A.

Wow. You know what that reminds me of? It reminds me of babies who have no object constancy. Every time Mom leaves they think that is the end of her because they don’t know she still exists even when they don’t see her. So they lose their Mom every time she passes out of their sight. They don’t expect her to come back. They believe that she can be gone just like that. What they cry for is to have their needs met, not because they expect her to still be there.

I’m grieving a country I loved. You’ve been living with the assumption that this country could be gone in a heartbeat while the whole helpless country looks on as she is slain by whatever thug threatens the DC sewer-rats. You’re quite ready to accept that this country can be killed by treasonous bastards in DC just like that. I believe the Founders were smarter than that, and that’s why they created THREE BRANCHES of government, checks and balances, and the Constitution.

It’s no wonder you don’t grieve. You’ve never even HAD the same country as I’ve had.

Soros is one man, a rich one, but no James Bond supervillain. If you really think he has the power to collapse the world economy, perhaps you have some evidence of this?

And if he could, do you think no member of Congress would publicize-- and thereby neutralize-- the threat?

And if his threat were so fearsome that no one would call him out, why wouldn't he threaten the court as well?

So, even by your theory-- which, most respectfully, sounds like something out of a comic book, not a law book-- there is no reason to add a meaningless layer of judicial review to a process which the 20th Amendment assigns to Congress.
