There are plenty of reasons to change the US Constitution, but I’m wondering specifically about the current dilemma the US seems to be in re the executive seeming to have no desire to listen to the courts. The US Marshals, the law enforcement arm of the judiciary, is ultimately under the control of the executive. What changes would need to be made to the Constitution to ensure that there 1) can’t be a conflict between separate law enforcement agencies in two branches, and 2) the executive branch can never, even theoretically, have the ability to seize control of the government from the other branches?
I have three ideas. Any armchair constitutional law experts feel free to tell me why this is dumb.
1.) Term Limits for ‘any and all officials elected.’ Two terms each and no person who has become ineledgable for the US presidency may be vice president, speaker of the house, or otherwise within the chain of succession should the possibility of their ascending to the president be needed.
2.) Clear enforcement mechanisms if ‘any government official elected or otherwise be found in violation of constitution or ammendment statuets.’ As is, Trump’s effectivly going ‘Well I’m not obeying you. whatcha gonna DO to me?’
3.) Clear accountability proceedures for supreme court justices.
