Adopting a parliamentary system would avoid many of these problems—albeit it would require a constitutional amendment. The President could be elected by the House of Representatives from among its own members, for an indefinite term, but could be sacked by the House at any time by a simple majority vote. The President would continue to be a member of the House, and automatically lose office as President if they lost their seat in the House.

Or we could just talk a lot about a return to "norms" without reforming anything.

It is sad knowing we are spending all this money on monuments that will just be spent all over again when we remove them in 2 years. And yes, these word/name changes are meant to be a monument, a tangible mark on history.
