So it’s the people that ultimately has the last say...not the Constitution that was written for the people??!!!
But hey, the Constitution is a living, breathing document! /sarc
“not the Constitution that was written for the people??!!!”
The Constitution wasn’t written FOR the people.
It was written BY the people.
“WE THE PEOPLE of the United States”..
The capitalization was intentional so that there would be no doubt about who wrote it and whom it protects.
We live in a Representative Republic. NOT a democracy.
This author assumes the ‘democratic’ WILL of the people should prevail over the Constitution and leaves out very important parts of what the Founders, including Jefferson,wanted for the people.
He quotes Jefferson as saying that the Constitution safe guards against any ‘foreign’ leader or citizen of another country from becoming president and rather quotes only excerpts that fit his so called ‘understanding’ of what the ‘will of the people’ is.
His logic is strained and contorted to try to ‘fit’ what HE believes should be the ‘will of the people’..
