...The founding fathers created a unique and beautiful system of government with checks and balances that they hoped would make it impossible for a dictator to emerge because Congress would recognize a dictator. They could not have foreseen that Congress would aid and abet him...

There is a solution.
Worked in the 1860s.
The other day someone posted the powers or duties of congress. They were extensive...note my past tense.
Those are abdicated as are SCOTUS’ due to Roberts.
With both of these, someone show me how we don’t have a dictatorship now.
Yes they did, that the reason for the right to keep and bear arms...
George Washington did:
“However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.”
The entrenched have gotten to the point where they flaunt their power over the People and have a good joke at our expense as the everyday SOP. They have so emasculated so many that we have become conditioned to be sheep with whiny mouths but nothing else.
Everyone is the District of Corruption knows he is not a natural born citizen and ineligible.
They have wanted to do away with that requirement for years.
More like a mental institution created by obama.

So very true, and the very reason the GOP brought us two unqualified for the primaries (Cruz/Rubio). They cannot legislate the NBC away so they are trying to kill it with precidence. And they would have gotten away with it if a rich outsider had not come along.
Sure they did. Later governments just didn't like their solution.

Alexander Hamilton Federalist #26 -
Schemes to subvert the liberties of a great community require time to mature them for execution. An army, so large as seriously to menace those liberties, could only be formed by progressive augmentations; which would suppose, not merely a temporary combination between the legislature and executive, but a continued conspiracy for a series of time.
Is it probable that such a combination would exist at all? Is it probable that it would be persevered in, and transmitted along through all the successive variations in a representative body, which biennial elections would naturally produce in both houses? Is it presumable, that every man, the instant he took his seat in the national Senate or House of Representatives would commence a traitor to his constituents and to his country? Can it be supposed that there would not be found one man, discerning enough to detect so atrocious a conspiracy, or bold or honest enough to apprise his constituents of their danger?
If such presumptions can fairly be made, there ought at once to be an end of all delegated authority. The people should resolve to recall all the powers they have heretofore parted with out of their own hands, and to divide themselves into as many States as there are counties, in order that they may be able to manage their own concerns in person.
