“Over the past decade pundits have written much about how to reduce the polarization and rancor in America, and now after the re-election of Donald Trump we’re sure to hear even more about civility and finding common ground. But there’s one solution to partisan political sectarianism that doesn’t require listening to your uncle’s opinions about drag queens: reducing the power and importance of the presidency in American life. To be clear, the need to rein in the executive branch did not suddenly appear when Trump was elected. The best day to limit executive power was yesterday, but today will do just as well.” (11/08/24)
