There are many expectations from the Presidency of the United States of America. The Founding Citizens (usually called The Founding Fathers, but in the modern spirit of gender equality, I'm calling them Founding Citizens) tried to list many of these expectations in the Constitution. But if political parties feel free to allow people of low ideals to run for the Presidency, it is quite possible that, once elected into office, the president will disregard these expectations.
We find ourselves dealing with this president with psychological tricks, as though he has to be cajoled to do his duty, and gently dissuaded from doing what is bad for the country, and, indeed, dissuaded from breaking the law.
We have here an unfortunate confluence of a 'House' under the control of the president, a Senate under the control of the president, and even a Supreme Court under the control of the president, who is, in turn, under the control of powerful business interests, and wealthy racists.
Much as we would like to avoid this circumstance in the future, it cannot be legislated against. The Supreme Court, the Senate, the House of Representatives, the Presidency, the Judiciary, and the Armed Forces will all be open to abuse, now that it has been abused without much public outcry once. The expectation will now be that all these offices and positions can be abused without fear of reprisal.
