Opinion | The Constitution Won't Save Us From Trump
Briefly

The Constitution, for reasons beyond Mr. Trump, has made democracy almost unworkable and hasn't effectively held him accountable, signaling a need for fundamental change.
Efforts like using the Constitution's clauses, impeachment, or the 25th Amendment to hold Trump accountable have failed due to inherent flaws like the Electoral College and the power distribution in the Senate.
The Supreme Court's conservative majority has further complicated matters by limiting disqualification circumstances, showcasing the influence of appointments on critical decisions.
Rethinking the system as a whole, rather than relying solely on the Constitution, may be necessary to move forward from Trump's politics and ensure a stronger democracy.
