Our Constitution does provide many checks and balances. Not just with three branches of government. No just with state’s rights and Federal delegated duties with powers restrained by the Bill of Rights. There is so many checks and balances to keep the other delegated powers in check. There is one vital check and balance in our Constitution. It is the oath being required to take. The members of the House of Representatives, The US Senators, The President, Vice President and all lower executive officers are required to take the oath before discharging the duties the post requires. That includes all Military officers and enlisted personal, warrant officers and non commissioned officers. Everyone in the armed forces is required to take the oath of loyalty to the Constitution. This is the check and balance no one talks about that is the last line of defense against despotism and tyranny within the ranks. This is the power to say no to illegal orders that defy the law of the land. thelonestarwatchdog/a-fascist-coup-da-at-a-staged-coup-a-collapsing-us-governmentor-patriot-military-coup-in-america.html
