He must have been joking.

Head of State Obama also said that there's nothing exceptional about being American and as he is the Chosen One, it must be true.

I would agree that it was created as a Representative republic, however that has been changed to a Representative democracy and we are headed for mob rule because "we" has become important. Which "we" depends upon the expediency of the moment and which "we" will get those in power what they want now.

Put back in a requirement to vote so its a privileged that is earned rather than an entitlement given. (Destroyed by the women's right to vote movement.) Women actually voted for Washington who were widowed from the revolutionary war and land owners appointed to the electoral college in honor of their husbands service. That movement was about removing the requirement of land ownership from voting as a woman who owned land could vote on anything a man could.

Next we changed the electorial college from a group of people appointed by the governers to elect the president to numbers representing some form of popular vote.

Finally the 17th amendment removed state representation and the last leg of a republic from the government. All offices of the federal government were now simply a representation of the people (as the house of representatives was intended to be).

The republic is gone and has been since that amendment. That is why our government is failing, we are a representative democracy not a republic.as we were created to be.

Unfortunately, we no longer live in a true Representative Republic. That is what USA is meant to be, but the progressives have turned it around to state democracy, at the cost of collectivizing and destroying the nation as founded. These things are not taught anymore. I think they started transitioning away from founders and constitution classes a few years after I left high school.

Thanks to changes in government we are a Representative democracy and mob rule is at play.

Yes. Politicians are masters as leaving their language open for the listener to fill in the blanks.

You interpret it wrongly then.
