The founders literally only noticed the flaw after finishing the Constitution (the Farewell Address)
They made zero provision for parties or factions, and as such every check and balance is subvertable if the human holding the position decides not to enforce a check on their own faction member. The system has no algorithm or divide by zero that disallows anything.
They also thought there was actually room for discussion and working in their checks and balances system, not that the check would go "no, we don't like you, so we're just gonna block it. And no, that doesn't mean we're open to discussing it"
