Little Bobby Reich Babbles Nonsense

Little Bobby Reich, a/k/a Robert Reich, fancies himself an economist.  Yet when named to the Clinton Administration, he was shoved into the Department of Labor, go figure.  Not content to spout talk of impeachment, Little Bobby was pulled a card out his backside and is rants about Annulment of the entire administration of President Donald Tromp, from American Spectator [1]:

Impeachment would remedy Trump’s “high crimes and misdemeanors.” But impeachment would not remedy Trump’s unconstitutional presidency because it would leave in place his vice president, White House staff and Cabinet, as well as all the executive orders he issued and all the legislation he signed, and the official record of his presidency.… Annulment would repeal all of an unconstitutional president’s appointments and executive actions, and would eliminate the official record of the presidency. Annulment would recognize that all such appointments, actions and records were made without constitutional authority.

[…]

The Constitution does not specifically provide for annulment of an unconstitutional presidency. But read as a whole, the Constitution leads to the logical conclusion that annulment is the appropriate remedy for one.… After all, the Supreme Court declares legislation that doesn’t comport with the Constitution null and void, as if it had never been passed.… It would logically follow that the Court could declare all legislation and executive actions of a presidency unauthorized by the Constitution to be null and void, as if Trump had never been elected

Now granted Little Bobby Reich’s incoherent babbling does not meet the Constitution definition of Treason.  However one, Little Bobby is willing dismiss the entire Constitution, and two, revert back to an earlier system of governance, to wit the Roman.  No problem.

I propose a less drastic solution.  We roll back to the British system existing prior to 1776.  Little Bobby’s proposal is no less treasonous under then existing British Law than was signing the Declaration of Independence. So President Trump simply suspends the Constitution for a day. Declares himself King Donald the First, then declares by royal edict that Robert Reich is a traitor and orders him hung.  We then revert back to Constitutional government.
