Lately, it feels like we’re watching the slow-motion dismantling of the Constitution, one Trump executive order or deportation at a time. If you've ever found yourself thinking, β€œThat can’t be constitutional,” you're not wrong. This piece takes a closer look at five core constitutional principles Trump has taken a wrecking ball to. Understanding precisely what's under threat by Trump's actions is the best way to fight back against them. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/trump-constitution-violations

@georgetakei The piece helps us abroad to understand the violations of the foundation of the United States of America, its Constitution. Yet, the Constitution itself is in need of a revision.

The requirement of a supermajority in the Senate to remove an impeached federal officer from office, for example, stems from a time, where democratic ideas where only mildly applied to limit regal powers. In its current form, the office of President has too much power, not enough checks.

@georgetakei while I'm sure that understanding the Constitution is a wonderful thing... I believe that there are more effective ways to fight Trumpism... I believe that going in person to our elected representatives office and telling them to impeach Trump might cause some Republicans to flip... Their main goal in life is to keep that job working as a representative... And if they get the feeling that being a MAGA moron is going to get them unemployed... It's very likely that they will flip...
