The „checks and balances“ need reforming to actually resist capitulation to the executive branch. Most monarchs throughout history have had less power than Trump has been granted.

IMHO as an outsider, repealing Citizens United would be a step in the right direction, as would enforcing the requirement for Congress to declare war, not the President. In fact, generally curtailing presidential powers would be beneficial IMO.

I'm curious what others, especially Americans, would suggest.

American here. I suggest abolishing the Supreme Court and the Senate, max every member of the house to representing 10,000 people, replace the President with a Prime Minister, Abolish ICE CIA NSA and FBI, ending copyright law, and making union membership mandatory.

That's a good start.

curtailing presidential powers would be beneficial IMO.

In normal times, congress would limit the president's powers, but the republican congress decided to let Trump have his way, with disastrous results.
