I agree with Trump 100% that these things are all necessary.

But the reality is that Congress will never pass such legislation, let along keep it in force going forward.

Imagine if there had been a system where the Mafia had to vote itself out of existence in order to be taken down, and you’ll see the problem with what Trump is proposing.

Moreovere, it will actually require a Constitutional amendment to make it unassailable law. The president has no role in amending the Constitution other then the bully pulpit, and getting such an amendment passed without the support of Congress will be a very difficult if not impossible task.

Without Congress, it would take 2/3rds of the states to ratify...That is possible....

The only way for force Congress to pass something against their own personal interests is for Trump to take it directly to the people, like Reagan did, then their constituents can pitch a fit to their various representatives.
