The current state of our government and the Titanic.
Sometimes I think the framers of the Constitution made plans for dealing with madman as President by having checks in the system like the Congress and the Courts. At other times, I think the framers said an Executive branch could run things when you had a feckless Congress. Unfortunately, I don't think they planned for a simultaneous madman as President and a feckless and complicit Congress. Like the Titanic, our Democracy will sink if too many watertight doors are holed and fill with water.
