That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.

Have you seen the state of reality recently?

"how things work" is, and always has been a suggestion. It used to be enforced, and recently enforcement has been entirely up to the opinions and personal beliefs of the enforcers. If there ever is an issue with this selective enforcement, there is unlimited wealth shielding selective enforcers from consequences.

Trump personally may not be technically able to do anything as president elect for Ukraine support, but multiple cogs in government may suspiciously stop working preventing anything from getting done.

Democrats believe in "how things are done" vs Republicans who believe "who is going to stop us when we're in power"

If you think you're going to stop a Republican from doing what they want by pointing to pieces of paper, you haven't been paying attention to the last decade.

Democracies have to be continually monitored and maintained.
Otherwise, they become a mere apparency of democracy without any substance.

Due to the overwhelming passivity of voters, this is what usually happens.
