    Aren’t we having this backwards though? Executive power should lie in the executive. The legislative should legislate, the judiciary should apply justice, and all 3 should keep each other in check.

    If we want law knowledge for an elected official to be able to exert its democratically elected power, then it should either be a prerequisite for candidature or better yet, a course on congressional process law (eg they take the training after being elected but before taking the position).
