In January, Donald Trump will head to Washington with his team of radical, inexperienced and inordinately wealthy Cabinet picks. But he is not nearly as invincible as he seems to believe.
The US presidential election in 2016 clearly demonstrated that the US’ democracy is far from perfect. The only way to overcome flaws in democracy is through more democracy. If Trump is to be truly successful, he must work to reshape the image of the nation’s democracy with constitutional reform and the adoption of a modified semi-presidential system and committee-style Parliament. The president should serve one term of 5 years, and for 6 years afterward be barred from running again for office. In addition the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches should face election in alternating years.
