    Nixon and Agnew was a warning that the system was ill-equipped to deal with a corrupt president and corrupt vice-president. The opportunity was there at the time to strengthen the system and prevent precisely what Trump has done over the past 8+ years, but nobody did anything about it.

    We actually did the literal opposite of fix, and actually exacerbated the issue with the writing of the DOJ “memo” that everyone treats as law that states “a sitting president cannot be indicted.” So everything that followed had to rely on a completely broken Congress.
