I saw this coming. Not enough effort was put on pleasing the king.
Doing exactly what the forefathers had foreseen. What they missed was to tell future politicians that amendments were required as people are stupid and greedy. Also, he had to try something for all those oil lobbyists envelopes of cash.
Republicans had the ability to say no. Stop pretending that they don’t have agency. They CHOSE to fall in line and harm the country by doing so
