Right off the bat, you're wrong. The President is an elected official, not a "servant of the public". His job is to use his best judgment as an elected official of the United States, not "execute your wishes".

BTW, you're obviously still confused about what a patriot is. That guy named Thomas was and American patriot rebelling against the ENGLISH government.
