 It has to do with the so-called powers that the founders claimed they had over people, and then people are supposed to follow that if they enter the halls of the U.S. government and assume that power over us. None of it is legitimate, but it's the set of rules that they promised to those people over whom they would lord. They'd say, well, we're going to lord over you, but we'll put some caveats over how we're going to lord over you. Oh, thank you, dear sir. That's so kind of you.
