    “…the Senate, as an institution, remains remarkably similar to the body created at the Constitutional Convention in 1787. It retains all of its original powers, including providing advice and consent–yes. You said it. You better read that again in the Constitution. It retains all of its original powers, including providing advice and consent to Presidents on nominations and on treaties, serving as a court of impeachment–you better believe it, Mr. President. The Senate can send you home. You better believe that.”

    “Demonstrating” or “proving” or similar ideas are barely operable terms in mass decision-making and mass communication in the U.S. “Demonstrated” to whom? How so “demonstrated” originally?

    I posted it in response to an observation similar to yours.
