What stops a lame duck President from doing what he/she wants regardless of the constitution? We hope it would be the oath that they swore to uphold when they were sworn in but if those words were empty political speech to them what’s next? It could be an impeachment charge but that is a long difficult path and if there is ingrown support in certain communities it’s sure to be ineffective. Political pressure from the party that they are connected with might help but if the President only surrounds him/herself with supporters it might be tough rode to cross. The only way to stop a wayward President is for their closest friends to turn on the President. If the media they count on to tell their story starts telling a different story and the friends that invite the President to “golf outings” close the invitation then maybe the President will truly stop and think. Otherwise we the American people must sit and pray that some how the truth seeps into the President’s head.
