I don’t even see how modifying the constitution can even help. It already makes so many of his actions illegal. It’ll always come down to whether someone can enforce the law: but what happens when they’re complicit?
One of the reasons the checks and balances myth was so compelling is that it didn’t even rely on ethical or responsible leaders. Basic human emotions like greed, ego, and lust for power, so prevalent in politicians, should have compelled them to protect their turf. Not only is Congress full of corrupt, spiteful racist traitors fully complicit, how does their base nature not make them stand up and say “the power of the purse is mine”
