The problem isn't really with the structure of the government. It started with the voters. This chucklefuck got elected twice. Twice. If the first time wasn't bad enough we fucking knew how awful he'd be and he was elected a second fucking time.

The mechanisms to remove him from office for being a senile insane pedophile rapist murdering war criminal are all in place, but half the government sees him as THEIR war criminal and the other half are too timid to do anything.

Even if we restructured the government or reinforced impeachment powers, it doesn't matter so long as imbeciles will vote a monster like him in and cowards will keep him there.
