PARDON SPREE...... Trump goes on a rampage with pardons. He may preemptively pardon his family members also." [cnn.com]

American Democracy needs serious reforms.

1. Take away president's privilege to pardon anyone. His pardon requests must be approved by 2/3 of Congress. Else not allowed
2. Remove all subsidies to the rich or poor
3. Outlaw Citizens vs United
4. All political donations must be made public by candidate and PACs within 30 days
5. Increase taxes to 75% on golden parachutes
6. Implement voter ID law nationwide
7. Put 2 term limits for all members of Congress
8. Tighten ethics law and rules on nepotism, lobbying, campaign finance and an automatic special prosecutor appointment after sufficient evidence is submitted to the Inspector General
9. Take these appointments out of President's hands, These should have a fixed 8 year term:
   a. FCC
   b. CDC
   c. FAA
   d. SEC
10. Ban White House appointments by president of relatives and lobbyists in the administration
11. Do something about the fucking lifetime appointments of Supreme Court Judges.

Will our Democratic leaders pass serious ethics laws and rules in Congress as soon as they even get closer to a majority in the Senate? I also wanted to ask... what was the harm in passing these so far in the House as a symbolic gesture to send a message to voters?
