Not everywhere. In much of New England a county’s only real functions are a courthouse and a sheriff, and municipalities provide almost all other services. I think there are states where counties are mere lines on a map with zero governmental function. So the number is even higher!

Quite likely. I remember many more specific cases from my Constitutional Law class that same year because many were nuanced and historically impactful for my country. In contrast, “Don’t shoot someone hors de combat” is obvious.

Has any of the traveling pool actually seen him? Air Force One spent a bit over an hour on the ground in Florida before flying back to Andrews late last night. With the AF1 designation it only carries when he’s aboard.
