I would certainly like assassination to have checks on it, all else equal. But do you really think that's practical?

Yes. Assassinations take time to plan and execute. Why would it not be practical?

[darawk]

Well, I guess it depends on what you mean by a 'check'. I was assuming you meant a congressional panel voting on it or something. If that's not what you mean, and all you meant was some degree of bureaucracy involved, then I think we're in agreement.
