Getting sentimentally reminiscent on me? It won't happen here,
because our government is built to prevent it (at least since
Roosevelt). If we can kick Dick Nixon out, no one can stay beyond
eight years, and the US is like a battleship; it turns slowly, so no
one could throw the populace in camps before the honcho had to
leave (besides, who would guard us all?). There's something called
balance of powers here, too, involving an independent congress and
Judiciary, I believe...
