Picturesque and fitting that you liken it to seasons, makes me think of Ecclesiastes.
What do you suppose a time-travelling Founder would do? I think he would look at us and say, "Are you people crazy, dickering over 'is he a foreigner or is he one of us?' in the middle of this mess?"
On one side is a lifelong American, clearly not a foreigner in any way, well-versed in the Constitution, not to mention law, where he reached the peak of clerking for and then arguing before the Supreme Court, and a promoter of limited government by hewing to the Constitution, for all his adult life.
And on the other side is The Donald.
WWTFD?

Actually, I think a time-traveling Founder, having been to war, suffered and seen its horror, and sacrificed almost all for this country, would say something along the lines: Words are wonderful, ideas can be heaven-sent, but it is the heart of man we must approach and change. I think they would ask, "What good is a full fledged, eloquent, written historical constitution if the people have fallen to sleep, if they have lost their heart and transposed their souls into lethargy or despair.
I think he would wage a new war to waken, inspire and move the people. then, I think, he would turn to the constitutional matters at hand.
