There is no country on Earth today with a more reasonable and moderate governmental structure than the United States of America, and yet there is no country on Earth today with a more irrational and immoderate head of state than the United States of America. Can a representative republic with a consitution that meticulously entrenches strict limits on federal government authority transform itself...
