I just mean if the president wants to be able to un-citizen citizens then we need a new legal tool to un-president the president.
congress and the judiciary have proven ineffective.
the final check and balance is the people.
impeachment doesn't work. i'm especially against assassination as a tool as it tends to make the best people not want the position of leader.
we need a new legal tool for removing tyrants. and it needs to be vote with your phone or use of technology to back off these iphone facial recognition fascists.
we have that: the 25th amendment. but again, "legal tools" amount to nothing when those laws aren't enforced
That's what the second amendment was supposed to be for.
