  • My guess is they figured if someone got to far out of line president would be forcibly removed and the constitution ammended. At the time 1 person didn’t have the ability to command armys across the world. Communications were by horse. You could likely take out the president with minimal effort if you wanted as the secret service didn’t exist yet either.

    Send a boat out to deliver people to attack a fort in oppenents land. 2 days later an emissary delivers a surrender… Oops, you can’t catch the boat nor notify them on any other manner, weeks after a peace treaty is signed, people are are attacked by the people they surrendered too.
