America's Power Shift: Constitution Under Strain Ahead of 2028 Election
The balance of power in the government has shifted significantly. The legislature has handed over its authority to the president, while the Supreme Court has been reduced to a mere rubber stamp. This comes as both parties remain deeply divided, making prospects for change uncertain.
The president's approach to governance is clear: they believe in amassing as much power and influence as possible. This has led to a situation where the checks and balances established by the constitution are no longer functioning effectively.
The upcoming presidential election in November 2028 offers some hope for change, but with both parties locked in ideological warfare, the outlook remains bleak. The midterm elections in 2026 may provide some insight, but they are unlikely to reverse the current trajectory.
The review of Jill Lepore's book 'We the People' has sparked debate, but it has not provided a clear answer to the pressing question of how long a constitution should last in the face of such challenges.
The constitution, once a beacon of stability and progress, is now under strain. Amending it to address these issues is nearly impossible given the deep political divisions. As we look towards the 2028 election, the question remains: can America's constitution be saved, or is it truly no longer fit for purpose?
