    This has two problems, because it assumes:

    1. the next president will not be a similiar idiot
    2. there will still be elections.

    It has been looking like Trump is going for a dictatorship for a long time and things are getting increasingly worse recently.

        We’ll be expecting you to put in safeguards against this happening again. At the very least presidential powers need to be limited back to their constitutional level, reversing the creep of the post war presidents.
