Doesn't it make you wonder why the founding fathers incorporated that provision ? Obviously, they anticipated a time when it would be necessary. Its time.

Seems to be in keeping with the Founders idea of the government being "of the people' as opposed to a government comprised of a semi-permanebt class of professional politicians who conduct themselves (and treat themselves) as near royalty, such as we have today.
