The Seat
What the office demands, from those who defined it.
Before you ask Read the answers already given. They open at once and do not count against your limit.Whilst the last members were signing it Doctr Franklin looking towards the President’s Chair, at the back of which a rising sun happened to be painted, observed to a few members near him, that Painters had found it difficult to distinguish in their art a rising from a setting sun.
“But now at length I have the happiness to know that it is a rising and not a setting Sun.”
Put a question to the recorded words of the founders and the thinkers who shaped them. Every answer is built only from their own writings: what they said, quoted and cited to the document and date; how it applies; and their likely take, labeled as reasoning from the record. Every quotation is checked word for word against its source by code before it is shown.
Questions already answered open at once. A new question is researched from the record on our own machine, reviewed by a person, and posted within 24 hours. You get a link to check on it.
Three ways to ask: one founder or thinker, The Constitution, or Convene the Seat for several voices at once. How named people are handled, where the answers come from and what is reviewed: How It Works.
