## Resource

Fables Of The Reconstruction: A Bunker mini-series for the 250th anniversary of the USA…  When Trump is gone, should America take a long hard look at its system to prevent authoritarian government from coming back? We talk to experts about the pros and cons of a new Reconstruction.   Today: Can you make the pillars of American democracy President-proof without looking again at the Constitution itself? If not, is the US on a one-way path to vesting all power in one person? And how are the supposed firewalls against Presidential tyranny faring under assault from Trump? Professor of government at Bowdoin College and LSE visiting professor Andrew Rudalevige talks Andrew Harrison through the big ask of looking again at America’s most sacred document.  • Don’t miss the other episodes of this three-part miniseries.  • Want more on the politics of the USA?
