Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsWhat federal laws would you like to see changed once trump has left office?
It seems that Trump has thumbed his nose at so many rules, regulations, laws. There have been several ethics violations that trump has committed that can't be prosecuted because the laws are too vague. He got into office because we elect a president via the Electoral College instead of the popular vote. Moscow Mitch is blocking everything. Etc.
In a perfect world, what laws or policies would you like to see dropped, added, or changed to make the U.S. a better country? Let's assume that there would be no trouble getting your ideas through Congress (even if you want to see the filibuster rule changed).
