John Arnold, Meta board, asked this question: https://bsky.app/profile/vermontgmg.bsky.social/post/3lhs632... --- My two cents. Congress has a singular enforcement mechanism: impeachment. If the Congress refuses? A constitution doesn't envision the government ceasing. What happens next requires a lot of imagination because it's not written in any text. There's an example of Principate from when the Roman republic ceased and the empire began. It had the veneer of a republic, and maybe it fooled some people, I don't really know. But today it's considered an empire, not a republic, for the > 250 year period of the Principate. It was an autocracy, with an emperor. The senators were decoration. |
