Washington saying "no, 2 terms is enough" was such an amazing thing.It was, people even wanted a King. The concept of what the founders did was amazing and the foresite astounding.
Was the Constitution perfect? No but it was a great starting point that I think was missing a couple of ideas.
The biggest point the founders ever made was, if you can keep it. They knew the idea of this country would only work if it was run by just and moral people. We are not that anymore.
Not to take away from the rest of them at all, but the power was his alone for the taking, and to have the integrity to turn it down was just something that you don't see.
And then the fact that the rest respected that all the way up until Roosevelt. Purely amazing.
