Yes, in effect, they believed that Congress had the power to police and would act accordingly if the executive branch stepped out of line.

In general, that’s happened to a certain extent. Until now.
Maybe some of the history guys on here can explain better but I don’t think there’s been anything comparable in American politics to the current Republican platform and their singular plays for power.
They’ve essentially broken the system.

1.). I hate the term founding fathers. It romantices slave owners.
2.). I could be wrong but I'm not totally sure they foresaw a 2 party system.

Washington was against political parties and thought that political parties wouldn't exist. He was wrong.

The electoral college was created, in part, to stop people like Trump from getting elected. The impeachment process was supposed to remove people like him from office.
They failed to prevent the formation of a two-party system, so here we are.

They did but what they didn’t anticipate was a congress and senate of the same party being complicit when having the majority
that’s not true the electoral college was specifically created to placate the slave states and then them more of a say than majority states in regards to population

That’s part of the reason it was created. But they also didn’t want a bunch of ignorant, uneducated people choosing the president.

what founding fathers didn't foresee was people other than white men having the right to vote and therefore being a need for a demagogue to divide the electorate to win....
