And we were damned lucky that, after the war, Washington refused to BE a king! Some urged it on him, and he said “NO.” As we had a weak federation at first … and framers continued to work on creating a strong and durable government, with a functional and enduring {amendable!} Constitution … Washington not only refused to be king, but he chose to LEAVE office and allow for continuing elections…. We could have had something more like Napoleon, but we got Washington. Damned lucky.
No guarantees we’d be so lucky again…. Right now, we SEE some who want to re-instate a “King” by a different name {a “unitary president” who has “full immunity while in office”}.
Yes, exactly! Any other interpretation of the Founders intentions when writing the Constitution & creating this country is bogus!! I'm glad to hear that at least George Stepanopoulous is finally recognizing that, and what is at stake if the Press doesn't protect our democriacy.
This "interpretation" of our constitution is akin to "interpreting" orange as green. This christofascist white nationalist etc., "interpretation" is just out and out b.s.
That's why they wanted to have a President and not a King.

Absolutely!! There was never any intention of this country being any sort of theocracy, either. Any claim of that is also bogus!!
