That's already what congress is for, the US system just gives too much power to the president, while having it a directly elected position, so it has to have this complicated system which is entirely broken.
Parliamentary Democracies have fared much better in recent times.
- RyanAF7 7y agoYes, thats what congress is for in the legislative branch. In the executive branch the EC provides that function. You're forgetting that we are Constitutionally allowed 1 congress rep per 30k. Right now it's at 1 per 790k. Thats already demagogue territory. Also, forgetting the 17th Amendment and the original intent of Senators. You have a very narrow way of rationalizing the destruction of an actual bulwark against tyranny.
