    Well, basically, this is the gist of “a republic, if you can keep it”. At the end of the day, my boy Montesquieu’s words hang over all government like a spectre. Governments rule only by the consent of the governed. If everyone woke up tomorrow and decided we wanted Lenin’s mummified goatee to be president, constitution be damned, Biden be damned, it’d be the president.
