Then I'm guessing he would find the nearest tree and rope and hang every one of them for allowing the Patriot Act and the TSA.
He would be too much in shock over what Government has become (the people work for the govt. instead of the other way around) to do much else that day. But I'm sure that on day two he would get that rope ready for the Supreme Court who over the last few decades have given law enforcement the ability to take away many of our rights that the Founding Fathers based our very country on.

Obviously it's impossible to KNOW what EXACTLY the Founding Fathers would think about today's political system, but it is very likely most of them would not be happy.
