3. It will take a Democratic president to get such an amendment through congress and to the states

Our nominee in 2028 should include in their platform a proposed amendment revising all article II powers of the presidency, not just the pardon power.

Call it the “No Kings” amendment - restrain the president’s and executive branch’s powers, and strengthen the powers of congress so that there are once again three truly co-equal branches of government.

(And kill the filibuster and expand the court while you’re at it)
