Yikes! Anything that starts with a reference to the Magna Carta is bound to lead to balderdash!
And bad Latin. There ain't no such word as "quinquevirate". If you really want to be that pretentions, it's quintumvirate. Typical of the New York Slimes to indeed get that pretentious - and equally typical that they get it wrong.
