      We probably just need to get rid of the office of President entirely. Or at least severely weaken it. They’ve always been referred to as “captain of a large ship with a small rudder” but I think Trump has shown how wildly powerful they can be. Appointing top officials of every branch of government. Executive orders. Pardons. Appointing Supreme Court judges.
