Yes, and now that you've conveniently disposed of public opinion with that
expedient view of our nation's "democracy," thank God for the Constitution,
which requires a two-thirds majority in the Senate to impeach a president
elected by the people. And thank God for minority parties. And for that swayed
and misled mass of voters that can remind Congressmen of the true meaning of
democracy every couple of years.
