    Is it sad that to be a “good” president, all one has to do is beat trump at the polls (ok the electoral college), and then do nothing else?

    A great president would beat trump then roll back the immunity ruling (somehow ;) ) codify roe v Wade, and resign.

      Why would they resign and present an undue opportunity for the far right to come to power again?

        Would make the vice the president, who then could/would pardon the resignee, making anything the resignee did an official act, and if not then the pardon is the official act.

      Democrats barely even have that much ambition.
