After careful reading of Article I of the Constitution of the United States, I still can't find any mention of Congress having the power to delegate their legislative powers to the Executive Branch or surrender them to the Judicial Branch. It's high time to return to Constitutional governance in America.

It is a responsibility accountable to the people as a whole to govern themselves, and if criminals are in government, there is the law (due process of law) available to the people for the defense of the people against criminals in government.

"7. Judgement in cases of impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States: but the party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to indictment, trial, judgement and punishment, according to law."

Anyone alive in a place where rule of law is in force is fully vetted with the power to accuse anyone else of anything. The accusation is then the responsibility of a member of the pool from which a grand jury is formed, such as a magistrate or justice of the peace, and if the evidence warrants an investigation, then an independent grand jury is formed to investigate the validity of the accusation. If the evidence uncovered by the independent grand jury warrants by probable cause a trial by jury to offer the accused the opportunity to defend against the private prosecutor (the accuser, or someone representing the accuser, or a public attorney general), then the independent grand jury publishes and delivers a presentment (indictment) naming the accused and the speedy trial date where the prosecutor states the case before a trial jury.

"...shall nevertheless be liable and subject to indictment, trial, judgement and punishment, according to (common) law."

The people can, at their own risk, abdicate their responsibilities, affording those responsibilities to representatives of the people, such as members of a city, county, state, federal, or national, government. The people can also resume their responsibilities at any time.

"8. No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no person holding any office or profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state."

Every single member of the government currently receiving any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatsoever, from a king, prince, or foreign state, such as China, Israel, Russia, or Corporate Legal Fiction, is no longer representing the people in America exclusively, they are instead representing faction, foreign interests, self-interests, divided interests, leading to - inevitably - conflict with the interests of the people of America. In a word: treason.

The people themselves are responsible and accountable for the defense of the people against criminals in government. That is factual, accountable, lawful, legal, moral, right, powerful, and there are clearly marked steps each individual can take along in that process.

The FACT that no one in government is holding anyone else in government accountable for these FACTS leaves one obvious, self-evident, FACT: there is no law in America.

If one were to study this then one might find when things went bad, meaning: when America turned from voluntary mutual defense of all the people to subsidized slavery of all the people.

Clues include:

"The judiciary of the United States is so constructed and extended, as to absorb and destroy the judiciaries of the several states; thereby rendering laws as tedious, intricate, and expensive, and justice as unattainable by a great part of the community, as in England; and enabling the rich to oppress and ruin the poor."
George Mason, 1787

"...shall nevertheless be liable and subject to indictment, trial, judgement and punishment, according to.."

The criminals themselves - as a rule - will exempt themselves from indictment, trial, judgment, accountability, responsibility, and due process of (common law).

V - Provisons concerning prosecution
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation.

VI - Right to a speedy trial, witnesses, etc.
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.

VII - Right to a trial by jury
In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury shall be otherwise reexamined in any court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.

The law of the land in America was, is, and always will be the same Natural Law everywhere else humans deal with other humans including humans who decide to turn to crime (injure innocent people with malice aforethought) and this was known once. It can be known again.

The Conviction Factory, The Collapse of America's Criminal Courts, by Roger Roots

Private Prosecutors
"For decades before and after the Revolution, the adjudication of criminals in America was governed primarily by the rule of private prosecution: (1) victims of serious crimes approached a community grand jury, (2) the grand jury investigated the matter and issued an indictment only if it concluded that a crime should be charged, and (3) the victim himself or his representative (generally an attorney but sometimes a state attorney general) prosecuted the defendant before a petit jury of twelve men. Criminal actions were only a step away from civil actions - the only material difference being that criminal claims ostensibly involved an interest of the public at large as well as the victim. Private prosecutors acted under authority of the people and in the name of the state - but for their own vindication. The very term "prosecutor" meant criminal plaintiff and implied a private person. A government prosecutor was referred to as an attorney general and was a rare phenomenon in criminal cases at the time of the nation's founding. When a private individual prosecuted an action in the name of the state, the attorney general was required to allow the prosecutor to use his name - even if the attorney general himself did not approve of the action.
Private prosecution meant that criminal cases were for the most part limited by the need of crime victims for vindication. Crime victims held the keys to a potential defendant's fate and often negotiated the settlement of criminal cases. After a case was initiated in the name of the people, however, private prosecutors were prohibited from withdrawing the action pursuant to private agreement with the defendant. Court intervention was occasionally required to compel injured crime victims to appear against offenders in court and "not to make bargains to allow [defendants] to escape conviction, if they...repair the injury."

Law Enforcement as a Universal Duty
"Law enforcement in the Founders' time was a duty of every citizen. Citizens were expected to be armed and equipped to chase suspects on foot, on horse, or with wagon whenever summoned. And when called upon to enforce the laws of the state, citizens were to respond "not faintly and with lagging steps, but honestly and bravely and with whatever implements and facilities [were] convenient and at hand. Any person could act in the capacity of a constable without being one, and when summoned by a law enforcement officer, a private person became a temporary member of the police department. The law also presumed that any person acting in his public capacity as an officer was rightfully appointed."

Excellent dig! Thank you for putting in the effort. When criminals make the laws, they always place themselves above the law. If anyone is above the law, no one is protected under the law.

And then there is the fact that, within the Executive branch itself, the DOJ, for example, has become a virtual fourth branch of government that decides which presidents it will work for or not, when under the Constitution it is a part of the Executive Branch and is supposed to serve under the President and and at his bidding. Trump should have cleaned house but did not do it, not just in the Department of Justice but also in the Department of State. The next conservative president needs to get the job done.

The Deep State is nothing more than an Ideological cabal in government.

When Obama took office in 2009, he asked for the resignation of every department head and middle manager throughout the Executive Branch. Trump became famous for the line, "You're fired," but he never used it in office. The TV Trump was just a show and the real Trump is too empathetic to his enemies.

@FuzzyMarineVet I didn't know that.

@eschatologyguy Actually, what Obama did was typically done by presidents for a long time. It is the president's prerogative to appoint his own people to work for him. However, I don't think G.W. Bush did as much of this, which left a lot of previous Democrat appointees in place and enabled Obama to add to their number, so that when Trump came in there were a majority of Democrat people in place who could obstruct him. But, instead of getting rid of them -- and dealing with the inevitable outcry for the MSM, which had probably influenced Bush's lack of aggression -- Trump left almost all of them in place only to be hamstrung constantly by their attempts to undermine him. That's how I understand what happened anyway.

@KeithThroop appointed positions over here are always co-terminus with the president (6 years, single term).

Elected officials should and frequently do have term limits, a big problem with the Deep State is their exercise of power and authority that should belong to and exercised by elected officials.

Thanks, @GlenGardner20. I saw that earlier on YouTube. (They still let me see Liz.) She has some excellent points in this one.
