Benjamin Franklin helped to create Impeachment Clause of US
Constitution. He realized that if a president were to “render himself
obnoxious,” then people would logically consider assassination unless
there was a legal way to get rid of the president.
Just obnoxious. Not treasonous or acting outside
of the best interests of the American people. Just really really
fucking annoying.
Ben Franklin understood people

After having 1776 running through my head most of last month, I can't help but think Franklin was thinking of John Adams in particular.... Smile
"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." - Aristotle
"Being told to be 'open minded' about something is usually a code for 'you're not going to like this, but I want to subject you to it anyway'. Conversely, being told that you are 'closed-minded' is generally a means of asserting that 'I don't like the fact that you're proving me wrong, so I will pretend that your failure to agree with my argument is a philosophical deficiency'." - RationalWiki
