on top of addressing the lawless corruption of the Supreme Court, I think this is necessary a better Court could overturn this decision, but the danger of a President imbued with the power of a dictator at the whim of the Court is too great and must be explicitly rejected in the Constitution itself

Cannot be done without stripping the president's unreviewable and absolute power of the pardon.

It is rejected by the Presidental oath of office "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Unfortunately I don't see such an amendment being ratified without a second Reconstruction.

To all of the people saying that "this won't work" is not the point. The point is to show who's standing up for democracy. It's why we elect these jokers. Also, it's about exhausting every option before going nuclear.

Seems like SCOTUS isn't interested in interpreting the constitution. Even if there's an amendment, they'll just rule 6-3 "nu-uh" if a case related to it ever came before them.

Also, without an amendment, the next time this comes before the Court will *require* a POTUS to commit crimes and then willingly leave office. Good luck with that.

Throw in pausing any statute of limitations, state and federal, while the president holds office.

it shouldn't be necessary it is patently obvious that the founders intended no such thing but in the face of the Federalist Society legal movement for supreme executive power, we must write limits on that power into the document itself
