[QUOTE="NotreDame, post: 74049277, member: 212558"] The author’s analysis confuses the Federlist Papers’ predictive power with the Constitution itself. I’ve had occasion myself to read the Federalist Papers, including what they predicted would occur, and realize they surely did miss the mark as what they predicted did not transpire. But this is hardly an indictment of the Constitution and my quarrel isn’t with the Constitution but with the Federalist Paper’s prediction that never transpired. The author misses the fact the “checks and balances” have been very present during Trump’s first term, as the judicial branch has impeded some of his signature EOs. Congress has refused to accede to some of his funding demands. Presently, with a Democratic majority in the House, additional checks on the executive have materialized. The Constitutional system is operative despite Trump, which is a testament to the resilience of the Constitution. [/QUOTE]
