The headline should be “fixing the imperial presidency”.

That is, any Republican candidate for POTUS must answer the question: “Should the presidency be reduced in power?”, with a resounding “YES!”

If they don’t, or worse, think they are so special that they can “wield the power correctly”, then they are not fit for the job.

Major ways the power of the president needs to be reduced, and outlawed by congress:

No more presidential signing statements, ‘Czars’, land-snatching proclamations, ridiculous claims of executive privilege, non-recess recess appointments, cabinet officers showing contempt of congress, and the list goes on and on.

Important laws that need restoration include the War Powers Act, and the Posse Comitatus Act. Non-police and non-intelligence agencies should be stripped of weapons and tactical teams.

And all the ammo in storage returned to the taxpayers whose money was used to buy it!
