US Congressmen’s Duty
Representatives of the American people in our democratic government are not elected slavishly to follow the constituents’ narrow definition of their own interests. Because of the representatives’ qualifications they are expected to help those who elected them formulate their personal objectives in sync with the preservation of good government.
Moreover, congressmen in the president’s political party are very wrong to put loyalty to him or his party over loyalty to their constituents. The voters’ allegiance to a party or to the putative leader of that party is not necessarily immutable, particularly when that leader continually demonstrates his refusal to reciprocate such loyalty.
