Well, we have something better than laws, we have "Norms." You see, a norm is like a law, except you only have to follow it if you want to, and the only punishment for not doing so is giving the other side a license to feel morally superior.

Sure, we could have made lots of laws in the last four years to prevent abuse of presidential power, but that would have been mean. That would be saying that we don't trust the next president to play fair, it would have made them feel bad about not getting the "Least confrontational player" award.
we also do arguably have a boatload of laws in place to prevent much of this already, but as it turns out, laws only matter to the degree that anyone with the ability to enforce them is interested in doing so. Dude in charge has already been convicted of felonies, after all
