"Federalist 69"
.... nice.
But also, Hamilton says here that the president "is to be re-eligible as often as the people of the United States shall think him worthy of their confidence," aka no term limits, so I don't think we HAVE to take his writing as some kind of gospel.
Still, though, 69
if only Federalist 69 were just, in its entirely, Hamilton saying super clearly “sure, this constitution has one executive leader, but I can’t stress enough that it’s different from a king because a President is accountable, including to criminal law” avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century...
sure, and it's good that the constitution and the understanding of it have changed over time. just saying that the actual drafters of the Constitution, whose takes SCOTUS pretends to respect, had the opposite view of immunity
