    I dunno, I sort of like how all 3 branches of government check each other.

    one improvement I could see would be to make supermajorities and filibusters illegal - for all parties.

      Are they really checking each other if they all want to place power in one political party (or more accurately, one person)?

      I read the title and immediately thought of the time when President Xi if China had basically made himself president for life and during a rally, Trump said maybe we should try that some day and did that little shrug he does when he really means what he says but shrugs to make the crowd think he’s not really serious about it.
