Yeah, Americans need to pass a whole lot of constitutional amendments to prevent a future president from doing things like this.

This whole thing has shown that the "system of checks and balances" that they're so proud of is just a sham. If the US actually managed to push through constitutional changes, that might be a first step in rebuilding trust. Until then, everyone has to assume that it's just a matter of time before there's another Trump-like president. Historically, passing constitutional changes has been extremely difficult, so it's no given that that can even happen in a reasonable time frame.
