Trump was acquitted by the Senate for his conduct on Jan 6. It’s OK to disagree with the acquittal but it did in fact happen.
Ultimately it’s really hard to design a constitution that is effective in opposing half of the population. You can’t solve mass social issues with laws.

Democracies work well when most of the populace thinks mostly alike and has similar values and beliefs, and has a good education too.
