PHILADELPHIA. CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION, 1787.
James Madison: Well done, gentlemen. I believe that here we have a Constitution! Let’s sign this bad boy!
[A mysterious, disheveled New Founder materializes suddenly out of thin air, looking the worse for wear.]
Mysterious, disheveled New Founder: One more thing! Put in: “And just to be clear, the president can’t do crimes. And if he does do crimes, he isn’t absolutely immune from prosecution!” Just to be safe. Just ... for me. I have been here the whole time and am from this time period. I did not just time-travel from Supreme Court oral arguments about a former president’s immunity from criminal prosecution. You can tell because I know who Gouverneur Morris is, which would not be something I would know if I were from any other time.
