Warning from Pres. Washington

In George Washington's farewell address, Washington warned the brand-new nation of getting involved in entangling alliances.  We always also must have our separation of powers (Legislature --Congress--, Executive --President--, and court system --Supreme Court--)  Also, no public official including the President is above the law.   He or she is accountable to Congress and the people.
