I thought that was a requirement of the FR freedom doctrine.
What would happen if the Republic was restored @ 3 a.m. and there was no one here to know it. It may be possible that would allow it to evaporate again before any one awoke...
It'd be like: "Woke up this morning and nothing has changed."
Even worse, what if FLOTUS logged in at 3 a.m. and offered autographed pixs of herself and there was no one here to answer?
Dang it, I forgot! OK, the coffee's on, I won't fall asleep again. 😁
