The problem is that the executive branch has too much power. Congress should have a committee of scholars convene and propose laws that would balance the powers of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. The laws would be forwarded to Congress for debate and implementation as they are proposed.

Doesn't work when one side says scholars are literal enemies and traitors. Sorry.

I don't think this is quite so true. If the only thing the resistance did to win back power was grab the presidency, that still wouldn't be nearly enough. Trump and his body of oligarchs managed to corrupt the DOJ, the special counsel, the supreme court, an entire political party, and more. It is a machine far beyond one person that prevented the checks and balances on him. I'm open to people's suggestions for how to improve the three branches, but I'm sad to say, even when such suggestions bring up "a special commission, a voter-approved team of judges, a friggin' AI", there's no absolute means to say that group won't be either corrupted by special interests through insidious means, or completely ignored when their time comes to act.
