A break from our normal format seemed appropriate given the momentous election we just experienced. I spend a lot of time talking about my broad views on the Executive Branch, Representative Democracy and the Election. It's a little longer than normal and completely unscripted so I apologize for the slight rambling nature. Hopefully it sparks some interesting discussion, however. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/federalist-20/support…
