Or the Ukrainians...
Good pointers there.
Article 1 sec 8 is a pretty short list. Lays out EXACTLY what Congress is allowed to do. “These things and nothing more”...
The 10th Amendment makes it even more explicit.
Again, telling them they can’t do something they were already told they couldn’t do hasn’t worked so far...
I think we’re in the time where the Founders feared we’d no longer be able to remove the corrupt from office by peaceful means.

We both know that they now believe the opposite, i.e. that if it is not specifically prohibited, it is allowed. Well, I propose spelling out to them what is not allowed.
They don’t care. They can’t be made to care by simply “spelling it out” for them even further.
This is self evident in that it is ALREADY spelled out and we have no real way of MAKING them care.
Fix that, and we fix everthing else.
