All of this and the behavior of so many Democrats during the past two years or so has lead me to discover a glaring error by our founding fathers. I don’t know why I never noticed this before.

The Legislative Branch can impeach and remove from office certain members of the Administrative Branch and the Judicial Branch for misbehavior, but the Constitution considers the Legislative Branch members off limits to being removed from office by either of the other two branches for bad behavior.

I have certainly long known this to be the case, but I never put the two facts together right next to each other before this morning.

That’s not a flaw. The legislative branch was designed to be the most powerful of the three. But it was also designed to be the one least prone to dictatorial tendencies because it is comprised of many elected members.

That's what the duel was designed for...

The legislative branch was expected to remove its own members from office for misbehavior.
