Our country is build like a house of cards. [View all]

All it took is somebody like Trump to show how fragile it really is.

If we ever get control of it back, there are so many things we need to fix.

For one, severely limit the power of the executive branch. Over the years congress has delegated power to the presidency ( for example tariffs), this needs to be reversed.

The US Marshall service should report to the judiciary, not the justice department if we want the courts to truly have an equal role as one of the three branches.

There are a plethora of other functions that should not be able to be controlled directly by political appointees if we want a functioning democracy.
