Key Notes
model
The Constitution is treated as America’s attempt at the most perfect government: a clean-slate synthesis of republican, democratic, monarchical, and aristocratic precedents through Montesquieu’s separation of powers.
diagnosis
Jiang argues that Congress no longer functions as a real check on executive power because legislators are bureaucratic careerists oriented toward pensions and lobbying rather than public service.
prediction
Jiang says a Trump third-term outcome would blow through constitutional conventions and checks and balances, marking a genuine American Rubicon crossing.
