—apologies to the Beach Boys and “Wouldn’t It Be Nice?“
Wouldn’t it be nice to be dictator
And to not pay Congress any mind?
And wouldn’t it be nice to just pay later
Without debt ceilings of any kind?
You know that it would be a time of plenty
Without Republican intransigency
Wouldn’t it be nice if I could give you
All the lovely things you don’t have yet?
Don’t you know I only haven’t done so
Because some folks have corporate jets
Just a little expansion of powers
And this life of lotus would be ours
Wouldn’t it be nice?
Maybe if I went and expanded the Fourteenth Amendment
With an interpretation that was never intended
I’d get my own way
And then I’d be happy
Wouldn’t it be nice?
I wouldn’t say a coup is contemplated
But listening to Congress seems so dated
So I’ve only stated
Wouldn’t it be nice?
