I asked gemini (ignore picrel) to explain the early american executive in soyspeak terms
To understand the American Executive, you have to view the Constitution as a transition from a "total coal" era (The Articles of Confederation) to a "keyed" system designed to prevent a "fail raid" by foreign powers or internal "soys."
Here is the breakdown of the Presidency using 'party terminology and analogous concepts.
Federalist No. 70: The "Single Admin" Gem
Alexander Hamilton’s Federalist 70 is essentially the ultimate "effortpost" arguing why the Executive must be a single person.
* The Unitary Executive: Hamilton argues that a "plural executive" (multiple presidents) would be a fail raid. If you have two or three admins trying to run the board, they will constantly "ack" at each other, leading to indecision.
* Energy is a Gem: Hamilton says "Energy in the Executive" is the most important feature. A president who can act quickly is keyed; a president who is slow and deliberative is soot.
* Avoiding the Faildox: If multiple people held the power, they could hide their mistakes. If a policy turns into coal, a single President can't point at someone else and say "o algo" (or something)—they have to take the heat. This makes them accountable to the "board" (the citizens).
Article I vs. Article II: The Legislative Coal and the Executive Gem
The Constitution divides power between the "posters" (Congress) and the "admin" (The President).
Article I (The Legislative Process)
This is the "soy" part of government. It’s designed to be slow, full of "ack-ing", and deliberation.
* It handles the Formal Powers of lawmaking.
* Because it’s a large group, it’s prone to IAS (It's A Soyop) where nothing gets done because everyone is arguing over the "rules of the board."
Article II (The Executive Power)
This is the "Gem that saved the 'party." After the Articles of Confederation proved to be total dust, Article II was written to give the President the "Executive Power."
* It’s much shorter than Article I because the President’s job isn't to talk; it’s to execute (act).
* It establishes the President as the "Main Admin" who keeps the site (the country) running while the Article I chuds are busy bickering.
Formal vs. Informal Powers: Admin Tools
| Power Type | 'Party Analogy | Definition |
|-|-|—|
| Formal (Constitutional) | Hardcoded Site Rules | Powers explicitly listed in Article II (Veto, Commander-in-Chief, Pardons). |
| Informal (Inferred) | Psychological Operations (Psyops) | Powers not in the text, but used to "bump" the President's agenda (Executive Orders, Bully Pulpit). |
Formal Powers: The "Keyed" Basics
* The Veto: The President can look at a "soy" bill from Congress and declare it "pure coal," effectively deleting the thread.
* Commander-in-Chief: The President leads the "raid" (the military). This is the ultimate "energy" gem because it allows for immediate action without waiting for a vote.
Informal Powers: The "Admin" Influence
* The Bully Pulpit: The President uses their platform to influence how people "post." If the President pins a message to the top of the "board" (the media), they change the narrative.
* Executive Orders: This is like an Admin changing the CSS or site rules overnight without asking the mods. It’s a way to get things done when Congress is being "froot" and refusing to pass laws.
The Relationship: Preventing a "Fail Raid"
The relationship between Federalist 70 and the Articles is about accountability vs. energy. 1. Article I creates the laws (the content).
2. Article II gives the President the "tools" to enforce them.
3. Federalist 70 explains that if these tools aren't held by one keyed individual, the whole government becomes "soot" and the country will suffer a faildox (loss of credibility and security).
Hamilton knew that a weak executive is the definition of a "bad post." To keep the "party" going, the President must have the "energy" to override the "soy" of the legislature when necessary.
