A quote from president John Adams that is valid at this moment in our history. [View all]

" Our constitution was made for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any others".

He was right, our constitution does not fully protect us from a person like Trump who has no morals, disregards norms, laws and the constitution. Even Nixon followed the law in the end. Trump may not.


The only check the founding fathers put in place was the power of impeachment. That only works if the congress and the people do their duty and are not corrupted themselves. If congress, the people become corrupt, the constitution is worthless.
