Even/Odd Day changes in command. What could go wrong?
Heh... I recently watched a documentary / crockumentary about the Battle of Agincourt, the French had a similar problem, the grand nobles didn't like taking orders from some commoner runt who had anticipated every move by Henry V and had got the English starving and cornered when the whole ****house when up in flames (in the words of Jim Morrison).
lol. Right. But I do like the idea politically, but not militarily. Two executives with one-year term limits. Our Constitution was largely based on the Roman Republic. The Founders were voracious consumers of Livy and Plutarch and Gibbons (who finished his great volumes in 1776) and Cicero and Cato. After the American Revolution, when trying to pick a form of government in that era, they couldn’t use a monarch, they just finished fighting a war against the tyrant King George. They went back and looked at history at what worked, and what didn’t work. But they knew from Rome’s example that it wouldn’t last. Hence The Bill of Rights, in particular the 2nd amendment. Rome managed to keep the Republic viable until Marius (a military genius) but a political traitor to the Republic of Rome. The existing law was severely violated with seven consulships, five of them consecutive. It is easy to see the breakdown of the Late Republic and the parallels with our own Republic. We should learn from history. This led to Sulla, then Julius Caesar, then Caligula onto Nero to the Crisis of the Third Century and the eventual sack and fall of the western Roman Empire. Cicero and Cato should be by required reading by the sixth grade. Meanwhile they are indoctrinating the children with absolute garbage like the 1619 project. And they don’t seem to realize, that most people who are white were at one point slaves themselves to the Romans or other Celtic tribes. The white man’s curse is also his greatest attribute. Fierceness and tenacity. That is why Hadrian built a wall to keep my ancestors at bay, the Caledonians (Scotts) and then built another one not many are familiar with, the Antonine Wall.
