All those things that were "unwritten" rules should now be written.

[BlueTsunami2018]

Spell it out since the emoluments clause is apparently too vague to be enforced.

You must show your taxes, you may not run a business, you may not profit from the office, you must comply with oversight and subpoenas and so on.

All those gentleman’s agreements and honor system norms that have been taken for granted all these years must now be spelled out definitively. We can never take the chance that a person like this ever takes office again.

What else should be added to the list?

[Lokee11]

1. Yes

Codify everything!

FDT!

[BComplex]

8. True!

This can never be allowed to happen again. And we need to set out exactly who arrests them, and at what point the perps are to be arrested and jailed for failing to comply. Mnuchin should be arrested third, behind trump and barr.

[exboyfil]

2. McConnell too

[KS Toronado]

18. I'd love to see Biden's DOJ go after Moscow Mitch night & day until they jail him.

Start with Russian campaign money laundering.

[BKDem]

3. We can never again just assume the elected President is a person of good character.

[soothsayer]

4. Yep

[Newest Reality]

5. The power to pardon...

The power to pardon is also sweeping and vague. It leaves open the self-pardon as a potential.

Now, should a rogue President who has a list of crimes behind him be able to get completely off the hook? What kind of precedent does that set for another criminal president? Won't that be both tempting and empowering?

[BComplex]

12. The pardon should NEVER apply to anyone who might be complicit in a crime that

helps the person doing the pardon. That should apply to governors, as well. You shouldn't be able to pardon people helping you to commit a crime for your benefit.

6. Agreed. There is no honor in this administration

[mindfulNJ]

7. Absolutely.

[gopiscrap]

9. you must concede with in 24 hrs after all recounts and your

opponent reaches 270 electoral votes

[Newest Reality]

19. That's not necessary, IMHO.

From what I understand, conceding is just a formality and makes no real difference other than to display good sportsmanship, so to speak. It is also a sign to the people regarding the peaceful transfer of power.

Trump is by no means a good sport.

[unitedwethrive]

10. Don't we need the senate to do most of this?

There’s only so much they can be done by executive order in terms of codifying law.

[sarisataka]

23. Many would need not only the Senate

But also an Amendment

[NameAlreadyTaken]

11. No Supreme Court vacancies filled in an election year

[sarisataka]

22. Why not instead say

Any nominee not acted on within 60 days or voted within 90 days is presumed to be approved by the Senate.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

13. YES! Republicons and tRumpissers need guidance. Add ELECTORAL REFORM, should be top priority. . nt

[GopherGal]

14. One thing to leave OFF the list

That "the sitting president can't be indicted" nonsense has to be disavowed completely. Perhaps as part of whatever vehicle is created to enable enforcement of the emoluments clause.

[BComplex]

16. Absolutely.

[BKDem]

15. The DOJ finding that a sitting President cannot be indicted must be withdrawn.

[SheltieLover]

17. Agreed!

Necessary imo.

[unblock]

20. i don't think the emoluments clause is too vague to be enforced.

i'm not sure that there's any federal law that applies to the president, so i don't think he can be charged with anything criminal.

but i think it's clear from the constitution alone that any foreign emoluments donnie took don't belong to him, so the federal government should be able to seize and such funds.

[RazzleCat]

21. Yes, you said it so right

I have tried to put on finger on this for a long time. I even think its more important than going after Trump (assuming that NY does the job, not excusing a full investigation on all of his enablers). I can honestly believe that even republicans could agree to this.
