By comparison, more than twice as many supported other parts of the law, including Medicare payroll tax increases on the wealthy and closing the Medicare “doughnut hole.” Closer to the Supreme Court’s task, more than eight in 10 said the federal government “should not have the power to require all Americans to buy health insurance” in an August Associated Press-National Constitution Center poll.

They knew four legs would have been better in theory by reading John Locke but settled for imperfection due to budgetary constraints and also out of pragmatic counter-principle. Left with just the three, chew down one leg down no matter which and the whole thing tips you over–a purposeful emblem to wear on the breast.

Presumably, they reserved their Trust for God as minted on the coin–which in their day as far as giving them any political direction wasn’t worth a Continental. (albeit it was a bit later before the “In God We Trust” emblem (not Congress) was literally coined based on supposed premises of antecedents).

So while there are problems with Congress this is a poorly formed question.
