And the one thing Oliver Cromwell should have taught you all is that when you set clear precedent for what happens when the head of state takes the piss, it doesn’t tend to reoccur.
American politics is built around worshipping the cult of the presidency, and whipping the office holders into shape has been repeatedly rejected on the basis of “harming the dignity of the office”.
