It blows my mind that there are no legal blocks in place to prevent this (yeah, I know it's because this shit was so unthinkable that nobody prepared for it). This yahoo is on a mission to destroy EVERYTHING America was supposed to stand for. SOMETHING has to be done to stop this shit!

No, fool, you're pulling examples clean out of your ass, on a different fucking subject.

The senate confirms federal officials.

How they do it is not specified, and according to over two hundred years of high-level bickering, that means they can do it however the fuck they want.

Even your ass-pull example ignores-- you've seen the NPVIC, right? There's a whole bunch of shit that YES, the American government CAN DO, regardless of whether it's intended, or desirable, or would lead to another civil war. We've already had the one, over some shit that was left ambiguous by this one precious document. So yeah, congress probably could specify your made-up thing, and the ink-on-paper constitution wouldn't be why it's total horseshit.

But you're such a psychic drain on this thread that I didn't want to have to spell out any of this. Hence: oh my god, just shut the fuck up.
