I understand and I do not care. Rules are good, but we can't be slaves to those rules 100% of the time and regardless of what's going on. Between feeling righteous and having Awlaki alive vs feeling less righteous and having him dead I'd choose the latter every time.

Congress is what needs a referendum. The military industrial complex needs a referendum. Congress no longer represents the will of the people, and I think the people deserve a chance to demonstrate that fact in a fair referendum of some sort. Gerrymandering and other sorts of corruption have rendered the normal methods obsolete or, rather, defeated at the hands of politicians.
You offer no specifics. You want to take the power, but you aren't stating for what purpose. How are you different from the government?
