Just saying. He has been in office for over three years now and this is announced just 6 months before election day? Yeah, right. Nothing but election year bluster. "God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?
