The US Constitution provides no direct remedy for a President compromised by a hostile foreign power. As a result, when confronted with evidence of that scenario, America had no choice other than to read this President into all of our nation's most closely held state secrets. Also, according to legal analysis by the DOJ, the President has legal immunity and may declassify information whenever the President chooses.
The impeachment powers in the US Constitution were designed based on the flawed assumption that when confronted with clear evidence of illegal acts by the President that Congress would take action. Due to the US Constitution’s inability to anticipate the power of partisan calculation, America’s laws remain inadequate to guarantee action. In the present case of Senate Republicans and House Democrats, both parties appear content to delay the rule of law for political expediency.
Interpretation of the language in the First Amendment to the US Constitution by Congress and the Judicial System allowed too much money flowing to politicians. The Citizens United decision resulted in a lack of transparency and the opportunity for corruption.
Ambiguous wording in the Second Amendment to the US Constitution serves as a shield for inaction on America's mass murder issue.
The separation of powers model, beautifully articulated by James Madison, functioned reasonably well to moderate and facilitate change for two centuries. Now, the President makes changes in isolation while the legislative and judicial branches of government react too slowly to prevent harm to Americans and death to immigrants.
America faces, with this President, a clear and present danger to the rule of law and the US Constitution. However, the only system America has to fix the problem remains the same broken system. The contradiction states the problem. The dilemma remains unresolved.
Our politics remains the same as always. Our system of government does not meet the needs of all Americans in the face of an openly corrupt President and corrupt political party.
