IMHO, we're in the midst of a constitutional crisis right now
The Trump admin demonstrates horrendous and dangerous shortcomings in American democracy. It seems to me that we must put *explicit* limits on presidential power--we rely far too much on tradition to guide a president's behavior. We also clearly cannot count on congress to face down an incompetent and out-of-control president. Checks and balances only work if people have the guts to apply them.
