MADISON FEARS HE MADE CONSTITUTION’S IMPEACHMENT CLAUSE TOO HARD FOR IDIOTS TO GRASP
THE AFTERLIFE (The Borowitz Report)—The late James Madison, widely credited with drafting the United States Constitution, said on Saturday that he was concerned that he made the document’s impeachment clause too hard for idiots to grasp.
In his first-ever interview from beyond the grave, Madison said that, when he drafted the Constitution, he thought that he had made the section on impeachment “so clear that even a total numbskull could understand it.”
“I remember asking Alexander Hamilton if we should put something in there about convicting a President who attempts a violent overthrow of the government,” Madison said, “but he reckoned that was so obvious, we'd only be insulting people’s intelligence by spelling it out. He also said a President would have to be a complete and utter psycho to try that on, and the American people would never elect someone like that.”
Madison said that he heeded Hamilton’s advice, but now harbors regrets about doing so. “I know hindsight is 20/20, but if I had to write the impeachment part all over again, I’d really beef it up but also dumb it down,” he said.

SepticSceptic:
Rikkitic: I guess they can drop 'honourable' from senator titles now.
And now include "lickspittle". Can't find a more apt word ...
I suggest "minion".
