Whether he dies, whether he’s actually impeached and whether he does not try to install a third term. What should, pray hoping, a sane and reasonable president of the united states do when they’re sworn in?
I think the president should take an entire year, bandaging, repairing and strengthening all and any ties with allies they’ll somehow have remaining.
I was going to about say codify laws for them not to be messed with, but even codified laws can still be messed with. There must be a new way to instill laws that not even Congress can touch and fuck with. That no President after this one can touch. That no Supreme Court of any kind can touch.
Because what good will codifying something do if it’s going to be overturned? We’ve witnessed that a few times. They would have to be part of the constitution at this point.
Obviously the next president that would-be, would have to spend another year and a half, rolling back, making their own executive orders to undo what shitstain has done.
I just feel like that, we need to stop the see-sawing actions of how politics are done in America. We need a president that means business. But, it appears to me that kind of president is all but imaginary.
I have wondered a lot whether we could enshrine laws that would protect us from corruption like we’ve seen. Executive overreach in general is a problem but there are also smaller things like the fact that Trump filmed a fucking canned food advertisement on the Resolute Desk that seem like they should be eliminate-able.
It just doesn’t seem like we actually have laws anymore. The Supreme Court has declared presidents untouchable. And the way demographics are shifting, it’s harder and harder for Republicants to control Congress, but the electoral college favors red states, so Republicants WANT an overpowered president.
We could probably get them to agree to presidential controls during a Dem presidents’ administration, but could we get to a constitutional amendment or something they couldn’t just undo later when it suits them? I doubt it.
We are in a death match with an implacable foe who wants nothing more than our total destruction. There is no negotiating or agreeing our way out of this: the only thing we can do is win.
