“The constitution supposes, what the history of all governments demonstrates, that the executive is the branch of power most interested in war, and most prone to it. It has accordingly with studied care vested the question of war in the legislature.”
- James Madison
I think Madison is correct, in that the President “becomes” the Country. And that usually means his ego becomes even larger and inflated with a sense of boundless power.
“Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men.”
never a truer set of words uttered!
