    They royaly fucked up by creating the EC and not including votes of no confidence.

    Although maybe they intended for the people to forcibly remove bad presidents.

      They did intend the people to have both the right and the power to forcibly remove bad presidents: it’s been written into Article I since the beginning.

      My personal take is that the framers of the Constitution never expected Congress to legislate themselves out of power, which is why many of the checks on executive power lie in their hands. But that is exactly what they’ve done.

      I don’t think these majority Face Eating Party members have actually considered the fact that they’ve fucked themselves as much as they’ve fucked anyone else. But they’ll figure it out too, once they realize a king can appoint his own Congress: he doesn’t actually need them anymore either.
