How about going back in time to make sure the Constitution is written with less room for interpretation? You could solve DOGE, Trump, and gun rights in one go.

Go back and never compromise with the south during our early years. No slavery loopholes no state rights senate bullshit. Partner with George to make a 3rd party. Make a clause that no actor can become president. Would solve 2 of the worst presidents....

Uh... maybe?
Trump and Elon don't actually care about the constitution, you know. They pretend that they do because it's patriotic, but it wouldn't stop them from doing anything they're doing.

Trump is arguing that the presidential immunity the Supreme Court invented allows him to do all this, so we might not have gotten here if the constitution didn't leave room for the court to invent that. And if the 14th Amendment were clearer, Trump wouldn't have even been able to run in the last election.

Do you really want a constitution written by a bunch of slave-owning, warmongering aristocrats to be more specific?

Go back to the fifties and stop the systematic dismantling of the education system.

I'd be more prone to pushing Obama to be more aggressive, especially with the courts. Some harsh conversations with the dnc in 2010 could do a lot
