Because as is well known, the first American Revolution was fought against the tyranny of faculty senates. (Read the transcript in the link.)

If you asked an LLM to paraphrase this it would say, 'unless the university profs and MSNBC anchors take up arms against us, the revolution will be bloodless. Also something about Federalist #70 arguing for a strong executive which doesn't sound to me like what the Federalists wanted. Hamilton maybe

Regardless, not a single one of the founding fathers or their interlocutors ever said, 'the president should be able to start wars then Congress will be stuck funding them.' Just the opposite. And that's what executives could already do before this decision

Yeah, not like this. The context for #70 was the existing Articles of Conf., which had no distinct executive. Even at the Convention, they discussed the idea of a multiple exec.The real kicker? Read #69. AH argued we need not fear a tyrannical pres b/c CHECKS, BALANCES, LIABLE for crimes, treason.

Oh wow. So that's how bad this guy is at his specialty of knowing early US history? That he pointed people right to the correct author and just 1 installment away from where they'll find that author saying no the president should never be free of scrutiny under the law?
