US President Donald Trump is a unique man.

He is self-assured and stresses a "Me" philosophy that upsets some people.

He is not what the 55 men from 12 states in the 1887 Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia had in mind when drafting the clauses on electing presidents.

Anti-democratic and protectors of elitist privilege, they still had to balance competing state interests in deciding everything including the contradiction between professions of freedom and the practice of slavery.
