Correct nor the president. The founders of the constitution didn't think the population of the colonies had enough understanding of how a democracy works. There were people from many countries in the colonies and all had lived under monarchies so didn't understand to concept of voting. Washington wrote that to keep a democracy viable that education was needed so people could understand the constitution. One of the problems we have today is that many schools have quit teaching United States history and government or are teaching revisionist history to fit their political agenda. This is one reason there is a lot of confusion concerning the branches of government and the separation of powers.
