The Framers of the Constitution did not, and could not anticipate: A fully corrupt POTUS, Whitehouse, Cabinet and 100% of their party members in the house and the senate; with a corrupt supermajority of SCOTUS and the opposition members in Congress; and a corrupt media, military and Corporatocracy.

We need 2 amendments. 1 allowing citizen-led recall elections of all federal officials. Another allowing citizen-led ballot initiatives. Congress is just an iron gate to block policy the public wants. We should be able to overrule legislation by a majority vote.

I should say, we need *at least* the above 2 amendments. We also need to overhaul SCOTUS and create term limits and age limits for *all elected officials, including judges* at any level of government. We also need to *really* outlaw slavery and for-profit prisons and for-profit healthcare.

It’s not the laws, the laws are there, it’s about an under or misinformed electorate that’s willing to let those laws be ignored. They aren’t under oath, but the people elected are. Truth in serving is unconditionally required, you knowingly lie you are out of office, from the top down, media also.

Some mechanisms of the law need to self-execute. They need not rely on anyone to enforce them. They need to simply happen. Things simply need to be not allowed. A felon shouldn't be able to run for president, if an immigrant can't. If you can be too young, you can be too old. Those laws self-execute

I would include significant criminal convictions with felonies. I would like to prevent Rick Scott from running due to his role in Medicare fraud. Also any future bid by DeSantis, due to his fraud against the people of the St. of FL. Judgeships shouldn't be lifetime appointments, only so many years.

Commit something that might be construed as treason, aiding terrorism or mishandling of classified documents and you can never run for public office. Forget figuring out whether you might be qualified, if you did that, you're not qualified. Actual vetting of security credentials of candidates as law

Not just felons but I want anyone convicted of any sexual crimes, even if it's only a misdemeanor, to be banned from running for any national office. There shouldn't be any convicts, sexual predators, or adjudicated rapists in Congress or SCOTUS either.

SCOTUS should have blocked his nomination for pres due to his felonies! Unfortunately the constitution is kinda set to the honor system. Yes it is the law of the land, but if a spineless congress AND SCOTUS turns their backs, as they did!, then we have what we have. He should never have been

In practice, there's no such thing as a self-executing law. Laws are just ink on paper; they require human beings with state power to enforce them. Waiting for the Constitution to magically enforce itself is part of how we got here.

That's true, but it's a lot more difficult to overcome a law that says once you're 60 you can no longer run for any office. Once you're 60, you have to retire by the next cycle. All Supreme Court appointments only last 12 years. Etc. if you clearly define something, it's a lot harder to defy it.

Then 61% of republicans are ok with lawlessness and pedophilia. No surprise there. Ignorance is a choice and deliberate stupidity is not acceptable in a modern educated society, misfits and delusional people largely narcissistic themselves, of course they accept him, he is them.

We were held hostage b4 he was elected we will continue to be so after. This is the nature of the capitalist mode of production We don't get to go back to the way things were. The future is in our hands alone

The constitution is done over with , and it will never be followed again. After this all gets reversed and then out, NEW AMERICA will have to fox these problems with its new papers. Old America is over........ never go back to the flawed system. FULL STOP

I agree but man have you seen Republicans in the last 50 years? They lost all semblance of multiple faculties. Losing interest in people over companies. Then science. Then observable fact. And now basic morality. The party is ruled by evil morons that want no accountability on anything.

Perhaps the key is in the upcoming elections. Because the other choice is impeachment and it takes a courageous Congress to do that and not the wimps and sycophants in this one. (Not you, Al Green.)

The slow realization that the "checks and balances" were all just suggestions and "precedent" is not legally binding has finally made it clear to most intelligent adults that we need hard stop laws in place that remove people from offices throughout our government when certain actions are taken.

+ + NEWS LATEST ! ! + + America doesn't WANT to ditch the cunt! They LOVE being fucked by a lying, sex offender, kleptomaniac, corrupt, Putin-arse-licking, thick-as-pigshit, vicious, traitorous, away-with-the-fairies SLOB who clearly detests civilisation itself. Suck it up, stupids!!

And let’s make it retroactive from 2024 onwards ! All TACO pocket pardons /pardons to be annulled and every pardon recipients should report back to their respective jails ASAP !

Oh a system to make sure this never happens again will NEVER EVER be put in place, i can assure you, that's too much work and someone will rally and say that's against our personal freedoms to make sure nothing like that is put in place.

the flaw is not in the Constitution. The flaw is in the 77 million that voted for republicans in 2024, the republican corporate media, and the GOP. Separate from them and all problems are solvable

Indeed. Starting with establishing high standards for candidates running for public offices such as passing a psych exam, abolishing the electoral college, expanding SCOTUS, and changing campaign finance laws.

Get PACs, and money out of politics. That would change everything. And, Fetterman is dead wait. Why can't he be fired and replaced, like we are on our jobs? At will employment! We shouldn't have to wait for the next election.

I'll say again! How many people do you think in this Administration and the GOP pac lawyers that are going through all the law books and papers utilizing AI to try and find every little minute outdated law since this country was formed in order to cause the damage that they're causing? 🤔

TRUMP IS A HACKED IN FRAUD-HE NEEDS TO BE REMOVED NOW! THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE IN A FREE & FAIR ELECTION👇MUSK MANUALLY HANDED TRUMP ALL SEVEN SWING STATES AND 83 COUNTIES IN 15 MINUTES-IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT INTERFERENCE & CORRUPTION. WE SAW IT HAPPEN IN REAL TIME & KNEW OUR ELECTION HAD BEEN HACKED!!!

With the corruption in your system, good luck with that. Perhaps take a leaf from Pigsbreath's book and put a few of the corrupt mother fuckers against the wall, him included to give some incentive to the rest to fall into line and help change the system. Just a thought.

The Republican Party and every F’ing member enabled this idiot’s administration. Never forget this, the Republican did this. They have betrayed our trust. VOTE - to remove every one of them at the local, state & federal levels. They must be forced to “wander in the wilderness for 40-years.”

. Republicans are Trump accomplices. They are allowing Trump's criminal activity. They are all in this together. The MAJORITY. >>> This would all STOP if they objected. <<< They are the Enemy to democracy. Treat them accordingly! .

I don't see how it can happen anytime soon, Dems won't want to bc "oh no, then Reps could use such a system to remove Democrats" and so forth. It really comes down to the people not electing corrupt morons.

The checks and balances clearly need more checking and balancing. The system never anticipated a lawless President taking over all branches of government and then all of them abandoning all morality for him.

You’re fucked for the next decade or so. Until these crapsters die or the world switches gears and the US goes down in the drain.

The problem isn't that we don't have a system in place. The problem is that the "checks and balances" branches are either too spineless or too implicit in the crimes to implement the system.

Sure, but what would work? Trump demonstrates that basing our society on rules is silly because some idiot like Trump can ignore those rules. Going deeper, a lot of us enjoy seeing him ignore the rules because those rules have not benefitted those people. These rules have allowed the US to be a

corporation with an army and screw over other countries for the benefit of corporations. Hell, the corporations have been screwing over Americans for the benefit of corporations. You can't use rules to fight people who ignore the rules.

None of this should have happened at all. There were/are far enough warning signs to have NEVER allowed D.J. Drumpf even 'apply' for a political office, or ANY office for that matter. His casinos went bankrupt due to they were money laundering operations with zero maintenance expenditures.

D.J.Drumpf was a convicted criminal before his first election win for POTUS, which should have made him disqualified to even run. His actions from '17 to '24 certainly personified his disqualification for ANY political office.

D.J. Drumpf has always been himself since he passed puberty, a horrible individual since. So, who's fault is it that he managed to attain such maligned, malignant, disgusting positions of power ? It's the fault of ALL that knew him & did nothing. Mostly those that COULD have done something.

The Constitution isn't the problem. The shit-stain presidential administration and pantywaste Congress are the problem.

Hey America is fine with him it’s been over 2 years, he admitted he won thanks to Elon’s interference and nothing happened… If we could press a button and eject America and its orange cunt president of the planet - WE FUCKING WOULD

if only 90 million people dropped everything and walked into the streets. If only 90 million people were paying attention and had put up enough food etc so they could manage a couple months on those streets. USians are pampered babies waiting for daddy. Are you going to talk or act! Your country!

What are you even talking about, Americans should have stockpiled months worth of resources in order to protest? If we had a government that allowed us the ability to do that, we wouldn't really need to do it lmao. I'm exactly one missed check away from being homeless again, bro. Wtf.

I am so sorry for your circumstances and I am sorry there is no one who is helping you. I just want you to know that my post was not directed to anyone in your predicament. Bless you, hopefully your fellow citizens will keep you fed and safe.

The whole system has fallen. It's time to #PerfectTheExperiment. #PerfectLibertyAndJusticeForAll The new system begins with a separation of beliefs and state. Beliefs, anything not proven to be factual affect the beholder alone. Only the FACTS affect us all regardless of personal choice.

Parlimentary government like all western Democracies. Votes of no confidence, snap elections and a least a Prime Minister dividing Executive powers. Attorney General under Senate and House control. Term limits and removal for ethics violations of SCOTUS judges. Eliminate citizens united.

It's illegal for an insurrectionist to hold public office, but you have a Supreme court partly appointed by him that tells you the constitution means the opposite of what it says. Deal with that first.

"The fault is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings." -Shakespeare There's nothing wrong with our Constitution. Every day, somewhere in the world, people are fighting and dying for the rights laid out in it. It's the voters who make it mean something real. Nov 3, 2026: 🗳️🫵

There are definite flaws resulting from appeasing the slave holders, but it's more true that this is all the voters' fault. The MAGA voters The Non voting voters The third party voters The Protesting non voting voters

Agree. Canada isn't exempt either. We need better checks and balances to take out corrupt officials and proportional representation instead of first past the post. We're not represented but we're taxed only to have oligarchs calling all the shots.

Spineless congressmen who lost touch with the people, corporation & billionaire greed, voters led by rhetoric and Supreme Court rulings based on partisan politics led to this America. Do not blame a document.

Everyone who supported the newfangled intellectually bankrupt notion of "unitary executive" should removed from office, tried for treason and sedition, and if they survive, permanently barred from any government, legal, or educational position. Start with traitors at SCOTUS and OMB. Spare no one.

According to the constitution, congress was supposed to reign it all in, but they can’t put two legos together or refuse to because their big donors would cut them off.

People have for decades now been talking about the consolidation of power in the executive branch and nobody cared. Not really. Most folks wanted a president to "get shit done" in the same way every response to crime is "hire more cops and give them more money with less oversight."

Yes ! Its not a system its an overhaul of how our federal government exists. Remove all law enforcement departments from the presidents control, elect the A.G., force all military actions even in defense of our country through the a senate committee for approval. This is just a start of a long list.

The 25th is illogical on who can claim it on Trump. It needs to be based more on his actions, and words. Republicans still believe he's doing a wonderful job, as his actions are destroying them.

Hello! The left has been saying this for years & no one listened. A DSA member who stated the obvious fact that the Senate was undemocratic & should be abolished was slamed by liberals & the Dem leadership. It is high time the undemocratic constitution drafted to protect slavery & wealth be replaced

There are. And they're already in the constitution. It's just not being enforced. The people whose job it is to enforce it and ensure its enforcement simply aren't. He was ineligible to hold office after Jan6, and there were *many* chances to enforce that. I don't know how you fix that.

We need a mechanism for the PEOPLE to force a vote on removal. This post is so true. Every day he sits in that office is a day he can do more damage to us and this country. We now know we cannot trust Congress to do what has to be done.

Just shows that the constitution is an illusion. Not worth the paper it’s written on. If any department was protecting it, Elon would have dispatched it.

Well he getting away with all of it because he has 271 enablers or co-conspirators in both houses of congress and let’s not forget a United States Supreme Court majority that has twisted the constitution in knots to justify his illegal activities 

And he gets to pardon all the corrupt people that enable him and that are controlling him. The barbarians are let into the gates of Rome, the citizens can't raise arms, and the legions are forced to obey them. When it's over Rome will be in ruins.

It's clear about profiting off the presidency, too. And about our rights. And about what to do when those rights are violated at every level of government. And yet... here we are.

Constitution....constitution. After 21 months of this mess, you guys should be growing a spine and taking matters into your own hands. 350M people versus 1100 billionaires. Come the fuck on already!

If God is using profanity it’s bad, really bad, so America needs to get our shit together and get rid of Trump and his MAGAmoron cult members ASAP because we don’t want God to all Biblical #AGAIN #FuckTRUMP and #FuckMAGAmoronCultMembers and #FuckMAGACongressMembersWhoAreSuckingTrump’sdick

No more "trust me bro" agreements. These jobs should have the highest standards, regulations, and laws in place to prevent any and all corruption or willful capitulation Instead, the working class is treated like idiot toddler cattle and the rich parasites just pay pocket change fines to break laws

The problem is that the laws don't self-execute. They rely on people who can be corrupted to execute them. To follow through with the law. If you rely on a system that can be corrupted, it will eventually be corrupted. The mechanism has to self-execute, it has to do it with no action from anyone.

Trump isn't going anywhere he's going to appoint his successor who won't be half as incompetent, they will dismantle America till it's unrecognisable. And it's because Democrats over decades have allowed Republicans to rig elections. Democracy is over in America and the whole world is paying the pri

It’s not the constitution. It’s voters. It’s the corruption. It’s rethuglicans complacency. It’s democrats cowardice. The SCOTUS enablers. It’s the failed justice system that has failed to follow and enforce the constitution. Most of all though it’s the voters. They vote for these vile candidates.

Thing of it is the people who CAN do something about it (his cabinet) won;t because if they do they will NEVER get this close to this amount of power and prestige again. And the GOP in Congress still don;t have the balls to stand up to him, no matter what they say privately.

We will need a truth and reconciliation committee, Nuremberg style trials, severe punishments for the guilty and this would be just the beginning. Reform from top to bottom!

It's the weakness of democracy. If the electorate continues to vote for someone whose policies & actions go against the rules/constitution, the democracy doesn't work.

Amen. Oh yea, then we put that piece of crap in prison. SCOTUS, corrupted as it is, has given him immunity from actions in the course of his job duties but his corruption is so vast & in your face finding prosecutable crimes is easy. LOCK HIM UP!

Proof that God did not hand Moses the US Constitution on Mt. Sinai: The Founding Fathers relied on a system of checks and balances, and never contemplated that all 3 branches of government could be corrupted and co-opted at the same time.

These rant curse posts... are they really effective? Cos just like, as in real life... some of us just tap out after the 2nd or 3rd fck.

The sad thing is that airline pilots are held to a higher standard than our politicians. They have to pass thorough physicals periodically and have to retire at 65. I’m 67 and I fully support this since I know I’m not the person I was at 35 or 45. Time for a new generation to lead the way forward.

The Constitution was written in an age where, at least among Statesmen, shame could be assumed. There was plenty corruption and savage greed, of course. But a Gentleman wouldn't dream of having that be seen. Dirty laundry wasn't for public view. Now it is pay-per-view.

I agree. The Laws and the Constitution must be changed to make sure that someone like Trump can never be in power again. We may never recover from the damage he caused.

The problem is whatever new measures you put in, the GOP will just abuse it constantly to attack or attempt to remove a democratic president all the time regardless of what they're actually doing. "TAN MOTHER FUCKIN SUIT?!? 25th Amendment their ass!"
