Ah!
So you’re going with “The Founders didn’t know nothing!”
I’ll give that due regard.
Much of the British legal ways were carried over. The exceptions are generally explicitly stated in the Constitution (might be some exceptions).
American Law operates on the WORDS of statutes and the Constitution. Brits don’t even have a written Constitution. Everything is precedent.
I recall during the Monica scandal, when the lamestream media were all parroting “no precedent” about something or other.
That was nonsense. Using a procedure that is prescribed in the Constitution does not require a “precedent.”
People often raise the same idiotic objection to an Article V convention.
