Yeah.
Well, we don't have that requirement, right?
If you're in office, it's usually like, are you this old?
Do you live in this place?
Okay, you can go ahead and run it if you want.
So I have two sorts of thoughts on this.
One is the Constitution isn't that long.
Like if you were to print it out on eight and a half by 11 page paper, it's like 17 pages, like 15 if you make it smaller font, 19 if you make it bigger.
It's not that long.
But the other thing is when you just said like bringing it back to We the People, I think that both the founders...
trusted we the people as in we want to do this, but they also feared the people.
And we sort of see both of these things and it's not necessarily bad to have both of those.
It's like, yes, we trust if multiple people are thinking about it, we'll get to a better outcome.
But we also should fear the people in that we are going to be held to account if we do something that the people don't like.
And I think having both of those is important.
No, there's no need to apologize.
Something else that I like about and I love teaching about the distinction between the House and the Senate is they didn't just invent these.
They looked to their closest historical relatives and said, hey, over in England, we've got a House of Commons and a House of Lords.
We certainly don't want to have a House of Lords, which is no family nobility.
You get into it because of who you are, not because someone elected you.
