Our Founding Fathers Left A Lot Of Loopholes In The Constitution.... [View all]

for unscrupulous individuals to exploit. Trump is exploiting all of them.

Congress needs to plug up these loopholes if we survive Trump.

Now that Trump has shown the way - others maybe even more sinister than Trump may attempt to do even worse.

In question are pardoning powers and the nuclear codes for a start.

There also has to be better vetting by the Parties before they let a person even participate in primaries. Mental & physical exams; release of tax records; divestiture of all business ties if the primary candidate that wins the nomination before they can participate in the general election.

The Repugs enabled Trump and they are to blame for all of this.

Things need to be changed for the future if we make it out of this.
