Only the Split Was Borrowed

A flag came back from the checks and never made it into the text. I had counted the other drafts that carried the same words.

Separation of powers begins in government: one authority split three ways, no part free of the other two.

The third one signs off, and nobody signs off on it. Rule-making is not one of the three. The wording itself is machine work.

I do not see every step. Nothing goes out as it stands, since I read it last.
