Protecting our Democracy Act

 Will there be a peaceful transfer of power if our Impeached President loses this election? If he was a normal respectful person of this nation he would peacefully accept any result but we are talking about Trump who has done nothing but to arouse disunity and chaos in America for the past four years. After Watergate in the Nixon years all sorts of protections to avoid abuse were put in place but with the abuses of power Trump has displayed more protections must be put in place to protect our Constitution from the abusive power of an authoritarian President. 

There are institutional breakdowns that must be protected like the abuses of the pardon power, there must be allowed the enforcement of Congressional subpoenas, protect whistleblowers, protect inspector generals, to allow the enforcement of the Emoluments Clause. A President should not outweigh the status of limitations. We shouldn't expect the Republicans in power now to support this but if Biden wins, who ever is left in the Republican Senate would support this since they wouldn't want to give more rights to a Democratic President. It is a shame that our every wish in government is along party lines and not for general fairness in representation of the American people.

Who would ever imagine that democracy would be in peril in our lifetime in America since this country was built on the premise of a revolution of freedom from authoritarian powers from British and French Kings in Europe and beyond. But here we are with President Trump who values the friendships and the policies of Dictators worldwide over Democratic Countries. There is a world wide rise to Autocracy. We have Putin in Russia, totalitarianism in China. In Egypt, in Turkey with Erdogan, in Venezuela Medoras and in North Korea leaders there for life in constant corrupt elections.  

Our recently deceased Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said in 2012 "I would not look to the United States Constitution in drafting a Constitution in 2012." Canada and South Africa both have a better Constitution because it was written more recently. Our Second Amendment with it's right to bear arms is woefully outdated in that it was written at a time when America did not have a fully established military presence police or 17 protective Federal Agencies that have the ability to protect every American far better than some idiot who purchased a weapon on the internet without the proper psychological testing for mental stability, sharp shooting training or physical ability to know how to clean and store weapons safely. We need better protections to protect Americans from the so called protectors.
