(3,517 posts)Nothing, really. He was (and remains) a shitty human being but you can't put a clause into the Constitution to stop a shitty person from being elected to the Presidency.
The Framers could have written in a clause that someone with a criminal conviction is disqualified from running for President and it would have kept his second term from happening. I don't think they ever foresaw a shitbag like Trump running for office, though.
What kind of Constitutional amendment would fix a situation like this? Recall elections? Get ready for those to happen with the same regularity as the midterms. There's already a mechanism for Congress to remove a President and it's extremely difficult for a damn good reason.
I really can't think of anything offhand. The "I don't care what Constitutional law experts say" bit at the very beginning of the tweet tells me that whoever posted it isn't looking for rational discussion, though. You can ignore reality all you want but it isn't just going to go away.
