Dictators and democratic backsliding seem to be a recurring flaw in every presidential republic. We see this time and again in Latin America, Asia (see South Korea’s recent brush with an attempted coup), and the Trump administration.
Maybe it’s a bad idea to:
1. Combine head of state and head of government into one role
2. Have a vice president instead of calling snap elections to replace a bad head of government
3. Require elaborate political theater to remove a sitting president instead of a simple no confidence vote in the lower house of government
4. Give the upper house any power other than making suggestions.
