The recent open letter from 47 senators to Tehran lecturing Iran’s leadership on the U.S. Constitution has attracted criticism for its judgment and even (rather less plausibly) its legality. We might pile on by noting its tone of broad condescension (“we hope this letter enriches your knowledge…”) and its tacit repudiation of term limits, once a Republican litmus test (“most of us will remain in office” for “perhaps decades.”)  As former Bush administration official Jack Goldsmith pointed out, the letter even got its exposition of the Constitution wrong.
