    If Trump somehow loses the next election they need to throw the entire book at him, then write a new book and throw that at him as well. We also need to add a few more amendments to the constitution to prevent this shit from happening again. Maybe eliminate political parties? Not sure exactly how to fix this but it’s blatantly broken right now.

      No, the Constitution prohibits ex post facto laws. A law you are punished for must be on the books before the crime you commit that it prohibits is committed.

      The federal government is prohibited from doing so:

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_One_of_the_United_States_Constitution#Section_9:_Limits_on_Federal_power

      No Bill of attainder or Ex post facto law shall be passed.

      And state governments:

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_One_of_the_United_States_Constitution#Section_10:_Limits_on_the_States

      No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.

      What are you talking about? He got SCOTUS to say everything he does as president is legal, remember? He’ll never do time for anything.

        You know damn good and well he’s going to try to get a third/permanent term. Supreme Court basically gave him free reign to do whatever he wants now, so at this point I’m rooting for the Mickey D’s to finally finish the job.

        The problem is who’s going to stop him? He already said he’s planning to run for a third term. Track record isn’t looking great, he seems to have figured out that if he just does things and ignores the law nobody stops him.

      Executive orders have to go. This is just ridiculous at this point how they are being used.

        Some limits on pardoning would be great too.

      He lost this election. They just used every single method possible to squeak out the smallest of possible wins.
