The so-called leaders of the USA. Should as we do... abide by the Constitutional of the United States! We are governed by the Constitution and they should too... since they are sworn to up hold it! Or they should be impeached & imprisoned for their crimes. A constitutional republic is a state in which the head of state and other officials are representatives of the people and must govern according to existing constitutional law that limits the government's power over all of its citizens. Because the head of the state is elected, it is a republic and not a monarchy. In a constitutional republic, executive, legislative, and judicial powers are separated into distinct branches. The fact that a constitution exists that limits the government's power makes the state constitutional. That the heads of state and other officials are chosen by election, rather than inheriting their positions, and that their decisions are subject to judicial review makes the state a republic. John Adams defined a republic as "a government of laws, and not of men." Constitutional republics attempt to weaken the threat of majoritarianism and protect dissenting individuals and minority groups from the "tyranny of the majority" by placing checks on the power of the majority of the population. The power of the majority of the people is limited to electing representatives who legislate within the limits of an overarching constitutional law that a simple majority cannot modify. No single individual is ...

At the Palace of Westminster, London, Bjarni Benediktsson, Jr., Leader of the Icelandic Independence Party talks about the new novel "Vulture's Lair" by Hallur Hallsson, published by Bretwalda Books. Bjarni Benediktsson, Jr., (born 26 January 1970 in Reykjavík) is an Icelandic politician and leader of Icelandic Independence Party. Bjarni was elected leader of the conservative Independence Party at its national convention on 29 March 2009 with 58.1 percent of the vote, about a month before the April 2009 Icelandic legislative elections.[1] The party came in second in the elections with 16 seats, nine fewer than in the previous elections. After conceding defeat on 26 April 2009, Bjarni said his party had lost the trust of voters. "We lost this time but we will win again later," he said.[2] The lawyer stems from a family associated with Iceland's political and economic elite.[3] After obtaining a law degree at the University of Iceland, Bjarni completed his studies in Germany and the United States before returning to Iceland to work as a lawyer. He entered the national parliament in 2003 and has been active in several committees in the areas of economy and taxation, industry and foreign affairs. Married with three children, his interests include football and fishing.
