While there are certainly flaws in the American system of government, this is not the result of one man simply being above the law. There are plenty of existing ways to stop this from happening but half of the government is actively supporting his efforts. There is no system of government that can survive when the people who are charged with enforcing the rules collectively decide not to enforce them. At that point the specifics don’t matter.
It’s all social contracts. When those break down, a lot of shit breaks.
Also when one party refuses to do jack shit about the approaching storm, hoping for the status quo and retaining their little bits of power. That doesn’t help either.

That’s a great point. Doesn’t much matter if there are methods in place if many are complicit in the tyranny.
