Can we please have term limits also for Congress and SCOTUS also?
The next president has to do two things: 1) right the wrongs of Trump and go after those who broke the law and were corrupt. 2). Then spend time divesting power from the presidency and building real guardrails and passing laws like, “the president is not immune” etc.

And get the money out

Think of it this way: You might give a friend your key so they can feed the cat while you’re away.
