Julius Caesar 100-44 BC
Caesar's signature move was the populist short-circuit of institutional process — going directly to the people when the Senate blocked him. The nine War Powers sponsors are attempting a legislative analogue: flooding the record with resolutions to build a populist mandate that might ultimately pressure Republican members in marginal districts. The strategy's weakness, as Caesar himself discovered in different circumstances, is that institutional gatekeepers can absorb enormous amounts of populist pressure as long as they control the procedural levers — and in this case, Chairman Mast controls the scheduling trigger absolutely.
