What followed was a sequence of events that resulted in an improbable triumph for Labor and a historic drubbing for the Liberal Party.

Franklin Pierce was president of the United States during one of the most pivotal periods in American history. He was the 14th president, and during his tenure leading the nation, he had to deal with multiple points of upheaval. He was the captain of the ship, but the boat had sprung multiple leaks.

Ambushed by five armed FBI agents at Reagan airport, shackled in leg irons, and strip-searched, Navarro became the first ever top presidential aide in US history to be put in federal prison for defending the Constitution.

Before the US Constitution defined the role of the President as the chief executive, fourteen men filled the role of President in Congress Assembled. Though initially an informal parliamentary role during the First Continental Congress, with the gravitas of war and then a Declaration of Independence, the role became more consequential with the Second Continental Congress. Then, the Articles of Confederation made it official, albeit still weak. However, the learnings from this role led to the Founders improving the position, preparing it for George Washington in the post-Constitution era.

He was Rome’s golden boy — beautiful, brilliant, beloved. A poet, a singer, a dreamer on the throne. But behind the lyre and the laurel, there was rot. This is not the story of an emperor. It’s the story of a boy raised to perform, handed absolute power, and slowly, irrevocably swallowed by his own illusion. Nero Caesar didn’t rule an empire. He directed one — turning politics into theater, cruelty into ritual, and Rome itself into a stage built to burn.
