Jamie Raskin (D) and Joe Walsh (R) bring 5-point declaration "No dictators"

“We’re at a point where the American people need to be protected against a president who would be a king, who would be a dictator,” said Walsh, a former tea party Republican from Illinois known for his past inflammatory rhetoric.

As for his fellow Republicans, who mostly back Trump, Walsh said, “It’s easier to get them to come out and speak against the notion of a dictatorship.”

The five-point “no dictators declaration” says Congress should curtail presidential power to declare emergencies, to deploy the military on U.S. soil, to require loyalty pledges from civil servants and to wield law enforcement against political opponents. It also says that former presidents should be able to be prosecuted.

“To reduce the threat of dictatorship, Congress should ensure that presidents who abuse their powers to commit crimes can be prosecuted like all other people,” the pledge says.

I mean, they're not really wrong. This has been a growing concern of mine (see my thread on "Hail, Caesar") for some time now. Presidential powers have gotten way, way out of hand. Congress can correct the recent immunity ruling, for instance, as there is a provision in Article 3 for Congressional action to reduce judicial overreach and jurisdiction.
