A president who breaks the law is a threat to the very 
    structure of our government. Our Founding Fathers were 
    adamant that they had established a government of laws 
    and not men. Indeed, they recognized that the structure 
    of government they had enshrined in our Constitution - 
    our system of checks and balances - was designed with a 
    central purpose of ensuring that it would govern through 
    the rule of law. As John Adams said: "The executive shall 
    never exercise the legislative and judicial powers, or 
    either of them, to the end that it may be a government of 
    laws and not of men."
