Pence was within a couple minutes and a few hundred feet of getting killed. Also, many civil servants could died. THEN, the president might have called in the guard, the military and declared martial law. And then? And then?

We definitely don't want to take this moment for granted. I'm thinking we need to severely limit the Executive Branch. I'm uncomfortable with wanna be tyrants. I'm not even sure we need a President. I understand having a unified head in times of emergency. Except that didn't work, so...
The system isn't so much broken other than there was an entire political party ready and willing to aid the president in whatever he wanted to do
Limit the power of the President, limit the party. We should tighten the restraints on Executive Orders. We don't need two legislative branches, much less one whose power is party dependent.
We need at least one legislative branch, and the executive order has been adopted because congress has for the most part abdicated the responsibility of legislation.
That's true. Congress has been in gridlock since the Tea Party days. Lol.
Yeah I’ve always thought the Presidential office unnecessary, except to appease our small-minded desire for a “king.” But not sure were evolved enough to go without one person at the “top.”We definitely don't want to take this moment for granted.

That’s a pretty extreme comparison. I’m not proposing a leaderless government, just the elimination of the office of the presidency.The movements of last summer claimed to do just that. Didn't work out so well.
And enable the old corporate ladder slaughter of those struggling to gain power? I think an elected rep leader is a better plan as the position is not open to debate, although I suppose the corporate ladder route might cull some of the undesirables from the herd.I’m not proposing a leaderless government, just the elimination of the office of the presidency.

How do you get a tie with five people?Wouldn't that just further the notion of doing something similar to packing the court or packing that States let alone the struggle of the five each without a tie breaker??
