    I feel like I’m becoming an armchair constitutional process hobbyist

    TBF, this is basic civics. I’m pretty sure you need to know more than this to take a citizenship test.

      I doubt every nuance of constitutional procedure and the loopholes by which they can be exploited in multiple branches, and minutiae which may or may not block each of those avenues is basic civics. Yet, here we are needing a daily understanding of all of that to appreciate the impact of each step of the latest chicanery.
