Like Lucky, I'd like to solve the problem of people placing so much hope on him.  I'd like to curtail his powers and responsibilities.  How can we do that?
Federal courts have to force the federal government to leave more things to the states, and Congress has to pass more specific laws that defer less to the President and his appointees.
How do we do that, practically?
We have to give Congress a mandate to act this way.  
They need to feel free to break out of the two party framework and pass things by veto proof majorities.  
How do we do that?
We make sure there are as many competitive seats in the House as possible.  We ban partisan gerrymandering. We make it easier for new candidates to get started.
