I'm not sure that this could have been done any faster short of having the legal documents drawn up ahead of time like newspapers do with obits.

I get that Trump sucks and he's doing all sorts of things that are cruel and immoral at best and cruel, immoral, and illegal at worst, but there are still structures that are in place and there is work being done against him and his policies.

But we didn't get here overnight. It's been decades of congressional dysfunction that has moved more and more power to the President. Ordinarily that's not as much of an issue, and with Trump it highlights to flaw of that. But it's going to take a long and concerted effort of fix how our elected officials work to change this meaningfully.
