The United States experiment was never designed to handle a person like Trump [View all]
Our country relied on presidents that respected tradition and values. We've never had such a blatant law breaker as Trump. The problem is that in our 2 party system, the same party holds both houses of Congress and will not do anything. So he's allowed to break the law unbothered. Impeachment is an utter joke. 67 senators are never going to vote the same way on anything.
What can be done to fix this in the future? Most changes would require Constitutional changes. I think one thing that can be done legislatively is that the DOJ should be placed under the Supreme Court. The president should be removed from this agency. Even if the Chief Justice appointed the Atty General, he would not likely be a MAGA loyalist. We've had Republican atty generals before that still did their jobs. Otherwise, we are now in a vicious cycle and this is not sustainable.
A Dem president in 2028 would probably not go for it as they'd lose power. But I'm thinking more for the future decades to prevent future Trumps, like DeSantis and others, who are smart enough to do even more damage. What do you all think?
