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.
Constitutions are just documents. The US one isn’t bad, save for a few amendments. A constitution only works well if the people in the three branches act within the spirit of it. Once you get people in who DGAF you see all the breaking points in the system that are normally papered over by decorum and moral standards. And those are things you cannot necessarily write into laws. The exception to that is the way political parties and campaigns are funded; that’s definitely something that should be addressed.
It doesn’t really matter who will be the next US president. They won’t be the leader of the free world any more. They will be increasingly isolated on the world stage and dealing with a domestic landscape somewhere between unbelievably fractured and civil war.
