MEME REFERENCE

I am the Senate

Use when one person arrogantly claims to embody an institution, group, rule-making body, or all legitimate authority.

What it expresses: Individual power erases the distinction between the leader and the system meant to constrain them.
Example: The club president rejects a vote by saying their opinion is the club's opinion, prompting members to post this.
When not to use it: A spokesperson accurately reports a decision made through the group's normal vote; representation is not monopolized authority.
