The Founding Fathers didn’t include a provision in the Constitution for the removal of federal office-holders once they are elected. They assumed an informed electorate would ensure they didn’t elect such people. But when the majority of Americans are so willfully politically ignorant and apathetic that they spend less time deciding on who to vote for than on what to have for lunch, the absence of such a provision becomes a real problem.
