I doubt the Framers foresaw special councils interrogating older people without a lawyer about events months in the past, to then charge them with no crime other than conflicting with their previous statements.

I also wonder what their thoughts would be on private military contractors. However in this case, the prosecutor for those civilians was directly tied to the enemy and should rightly be thrown out.

Private military contractors? Well, they complained about the Hessians in the Declaration of Independence, didn't they?

Older people who are thought to be spry enough to hold cabinet-level posts?
