That prophecy has already been fulfilled. Back when they didn’t have cell phones.

A moron elected by morons for morons.

“I used to be a big shot!”

Reminds me of Edward G. Robinson as Johnny Rocco in "Key Largo" as he rants about how it was back in Chicago when he was the 'boss'. Classic stuff.

My favorite part:

"Dish out a lotta groceries and coal. Get my boys to bring the voters out. And then count the votes over and over again till they added up right and he was elected. Yeah -- then what happens? Did he remember when the going got tough, when the heat was on? No, he didn't wanna. All he wanted was to save his own dirty neck . . . Yeah, 'Public Enemy,' he calls me. Me, who gave him his 'Public' all wrapped up with a fancy bow on it.

Hmm, lets see what the Constitution says about a president’s duties.

Article II:

Giving State of the Union - Nope, doesn’t say a thing about starting or ending a war.

Making RECOMENDATIONS to Congress - Nope, not there either and he can only “recommend” to Congress NOT blackmail or threaten

Calling Congress into extraordinary session or closing - Nope, don’t see it here.

Receiving foreign representatives - Nope, again but he does seem to have problems in that area especially this week with the Russians and the Brits.

Caring for the faithful execution of the law - snort, snort

Officers’ commissions - Are those his muzzy bros?

Ok, Professor Constitution, where’s that war thing in your duties?

Actually I did misspell a word. I added an extra “e” at the end of the last word

That’s a good part by Edward D. Robinson, but I was referring to the part where Jimmy Cagney is gunned down by H. Bogarts mob and he dies on the Catholic Church’s steps. His ex-girlfriend tells the cop “he used to be a big shot’
