An American Odysseus, undertaking the arduous journey to restore a constitutional presidency, will almost certainly face a series of daunting challenges worthy of Homer’s exploration in his epic poem, “The Odyssey,” about the king’s desperate effort to return to Ithaca, after the 10-year Trojan War.
Whether our hero, like the Greek hero himself, can return to Ithaca, will determine the very fate of our republic, 250 years after the founders created it in writing the Declaration of Independence. Presidential government, drenched in authoritarianism, is triumphant, and its blatant disregard of the Constitution haunts American constitutionalism. There is no way home for America, no return to Ithaca, until the presidency is saddled, bridled and bitted.
