    Unfortunately, I don’t see how any president can do any of those. The best he can do is appoint competent justices and try to persuade Congress

      So in this case, expand the Supreme Court? And at least mention these issues at all?

          Personally, I don’t credit him with “saving democracy” however, putting Trump in the White House would endanger democracy as an institution because his faction would have enough control to implement their will without being checked.
