became libertarians? They always were.

Agreed. I will not compromise in a primary. I will vote for the best candidate to run and if America wants to goose step off a cliff then you will find me in the camps.

a bill to constrain presidential powers doesbt work in our current system. Trump has broken the law, repeatedly, brazenly, and nobody that could stop him has done so. Passing a new law for the next Republican to break will not make that harder or result in any consequences beyond what we have already seen.

Things that might make a difference: 1 permanently expanding the power of majoritarian democracy/the Democratic party. Adding Puerto Rico and DC as states, passing the interstate national popular vote compact in enough states to neuter the electoral college, making political gerrymandering illegal nationwide.

2. Prosecuting the criminals in the current administration, all of them, top to bottom, thousands of cabinet and agency level convictions, harsh sentences, might deter future potential functionaries from cooperating with a future would be dictator

3. Arresting the Republican justices on the supreme Court and holding them in guatanemo and appointing a new court. Expanding the supreme Court would just be undone by the next Republican president with a trifecta. #1 might make that less likely, but with our current court so thoroughly corrupting our government from the inside 1 and 2 are unlikely to do anything useful.
