Mythical indeed. Our founding covenant of governance was so incomplete that we drew up a new one less then 7 years after the revolution. And THAT one had to be immediately amended to garner enough support to pass. Please remember that I am a fan of harkening back when it comes to the Constitution.
I also suspect that a fair number of our founders would thump the Trumpers upside the head with a stick for an utter lack of common sense in waddling after an obvious demagogue who is using them for his own power. Even Huey Long was more genuinely supportive of his followers.
