“On President's Day, Bush went to Mount Vernon. He should have thought twice about that.
‘This is the home of the first George W.,’ he said. . . .Bush compared ‘George Washington's long struggle for freedom’ with his own military adventures. ‘Today, we're fighting a new war to defend our liberty and our people and our way of life,’ Bush said. . . .
In his Second Inaugural Address, Washington was clear about what should happen to a President who does not uphold the Constitution.
‘If it shall be found during my administration of the government I have in any instance violated willingly or knowingly the injunctions thereof, I may (besides incurring constitutional punishment) be subject to the upraidings of all who are now witnesses of the present solemn ceremony.’
Washington is a witness for the prosecution.”
