    Here’s something we could fix:

    We have no recall option! WTF! We should have such a mechanism. We should ask Congress to enact a law where we the people can recall the president via votes if we can collect enough signatures just like we are able to do for other things.

        Now why would the elected officials do something to their own detriment? You want them to act like representatives or how they’ve been acting?

          Many states have done things like that. the problem is for the feds its all defined in the constitution so getting an overwhelming majority to agree to limit power needs an overwhelming push.

          Imo the best thing to do would be push for a constitutional amendment that creates an initiative system that fully bypasses congress.
