Alexander Hamilton

Alexander Hamilton appears in 173.弹劾：如何罢免一位总统 as the founding-era voice for a strong, energetic executive inside the United States Constitution debate. The episode uses him to explain why the U.S. chose a single president rather than a plural executive or a parliamentary cabinet.

Hamilton’s role in the source is to sharpen the central tradeoff. A single executive can act with energy and accountability, but only if the office remains removable through election and, in extreme cases, [[PresidentialImpeachment|impeachment]]. That is why the president is contrasted with a king rather than equated with one.
