By your screen name you should be know that the Roman Republic was founded when they expelled King Tarquin the Proud and created a republic based upon annually elected co-counsels, a senate and assemblies of the people.

Yes sir, time to expel the Proud Kenyan and create a Republic where only taxpayers and veterans have the vote.

These commies would be SOL.

They would have to take our money at gunpoint instead of just voting themselves it.

The Romans were able to keep their republic for 500 years. It failed when power hungry politicians seeking support from the poor promised to spread the wealth. Constitutional conventions were ignored which lead both sides to resort to force to advance their interests. After a generation of civil wars the republic was in shatters, being replaced by a military dictatorship we know as the empire. Pray that we do not follow the same course.
