You’re arguing over semantics. The people that wrote that Constitution were leaders. Many of the folks we’ve elected throughout our two centuries plus have been leaders. I separate pols into different classes, the ones that lead and the ones that mislead (politicians). I look for people that are the best. You seem to want the least of the worst. Right now, we need the best, and badly.
Just semantics?
You OBVIOUSLY do not understand the idea of a representative republic.
Now that you’ve confirmed that, so many other things fall into place.
From here on out, talk to the hand.
