It would be the equvialent of President Shrillary appointing Rumsfeld Secy of Defense and giving him Presidential powers because Rumsfeld threatened to nuke Washington. That isn't a democracy of any sort.

How so? Population elects Person A as president, Person A gives the position to Person B with no election. Thats not democracy.

Hindenburg was the duly elected president, and he had the right to appoint Hitler as chancellor. Completely democratic and constitutional.

Why are we afraid to admit that bad people can get into power through democratic means? Bad people would get into power through AC too.
