If the existing elites are really worried about Trump’s abuses the sensible thing would be to drastically reduce executive power as soon as he’s elected. Just start repealing all the authoritarian laws that have accumulated over the centuries, pass laws clarifying the existing misinterpreted laws to say, “No, actually, the correct interpretation is the one that doesn’t mean, ‘the government can do what it wants.’“ Give some teeth to legal safeguards for military personnel who disobey illegal orders.
If this is as bi-partisan an effort as the opposition to Trump seems to be so far, then having President Obama sign all those should be easy. Then have him issue an executive order directing that the political history of the modern Turkish military be included in officer training across the armed forces.
Appoint Ron Paul to the Supreme Court.
Just saying, the government could do a lot in a few months, if it’s motivated.
That would mean Obama and the democrats admitting that what he did was wrong, so it probably won’t ever happen, unfortunately.
