Quoting Russell Coker (russell@coker.com.au):
It's not an issue of the powers being different. It's the process for election and removal.
Yes, there certainly is that. The US Founding Fathers seem to have been ambivalent about no longer having a monarch, and also lastingly afraid of 'mob rule', hence the difficult process required for removal of Presidents, VPs, Federal judges, and some similar officers, and the peculiar and inflexible process for election. But, as I've stressed, it _was_ an experimental effort.
True, which is why we don't want Pence.
Indeed. I keep warning people about Mike 'Torquemada' Pence, that there is a 13th Century horror hiding behind the bland affability.
He reads Libertarian sites and forwards their postings on multiple occasions. That seems like support.
I am not sure. Terry forwards a variety of things. But he's very clear on being anti-Trump. He also forwards Forteana.
I'm still wondering why he chose to live in Thailand...
The obvious hypothesis: Because it was a cheap place to retire with his wife, which is the reason many other Vietnam-era service people from the USA have done so.
