Seriously , I don’t know what else could be effective. Many of these executive orders are already illegal, but the other branches are not sticking up for their prerogatives. If the system of checks and balances is failing, does it make a difference to fiddle around with what those checks and balances should have prevented?
The strangest part is I would have said it was foolproof. All they need is the self-interest of the other branches to protect their own power. Usually that has more or less worked, even when they’re the same party. So many self-serving, power hungry politicians just giving it all up after all their efforts to gain power. Why is basic human nature, even our worst impulses, not strengthening checks and balances?
