This Is It! A Way to Avoid Another President Donald J Trump!

 At last! I found it! I found the answer and way for us all to avoid any second Donald J Trump, President.


Amend the Constitution to Prevent Another Trump


This man, Rohit Aggarwal, wrote this in Bloomberg News, thank goodness! Here's the meat of the article:

A 28th constitutional amendment could keep this from happening again. First, an amendment should work against conflicts of interest by making the disclosure of tax returns well before Election Day an eligibility requirement for federal offices. And it should expand the Constitution's emoluments clause, which bars the president from accepting gifts or favors from foreign states, to explicitly include the president and his or her immediate family, and cover businesses held directly and indirectly.

The amendment should replace the Office of Government Ethics with a new entity that's responsible jointly to the president and both houses of Congress, charged not only with establishing ethics regulations but also with suspending officials who violate them. It should institutionalize the independence of the Justice Department by making the attorney general an officer who serves at the pleasure of both the president and Congress, thereby ensuring that attorneys general would not be able to do active harm for very long.

Finally, the amendment should prevent presidents from pardoning themselves, their families, their staffs and campaign officials, and perhaps even major donors to their campaigns. It should eliminate the ability to grant pardons between Election Day and the beginning of the next presidential term.

Simple. Intelligent. Important. Necessary, as we have seen these last four years.

Let's do this, America. Get the word out to your government representatives.
