I'm trying to think of a constitutional provision that provides a remedy

to the people, short of outright revolution, when BOTH the executive branch and party holding power in the legislative branch are corrupt, as I believe they both are.

I don't think our founding fathers predicted something like this. But that's just a guess.

BECKET — When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with their President, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men — and women — are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness, and that whenever any President becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people peaceably to replace him.

...

We, therefore, the citizens of the United States of America, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do solemnly publish and declare that we of right deserve leadership better than this.

And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

Proclaimed this day in the Spirit, and the great Tradition, of July the 4th, 1776.

3. Election.

Checks and balances makes most big changes happen in slo-mo.

It also pays to remember that when the Constitution, the federal government was an itsy bitsy thing. Not the golem it's become. So even a "big change" was still pretty small, or could be tolerated until the next election.

When you are talking about corruption in a small organization that sets limits but doesn't deal with huge amounts of money and power, it's less of a big deal than corruption in a government that supports a hefty percentage of the population, amounts to a hefty percentage of GDP, and has laws and regulations for everything from international commerce and interstate commerce to the maximum amount of heavy metals allowed in the paint used on lead pencils.
