The next Dem Administration has to release everything

his tx returns, the full Mueller Report, all the whistle blower complaints, all the criminal activity, everything.
I don't care if he is impeached, convicted and expatriated.
We need to know everything and everyone involved.

Actually "write" definite laws. No more assuming that a POTUS is patriotic or does what is best for the country and chooses to act appropriately. No more "he shall" BS. Clear laws that say "he must" do so and so.

laws for more checks and balances, to make sure this dark chapter history never repeats itself. We must never allow such an unfit, morally bankrupt, foreign-adversary compromised and highly corrupt candidate to hold the highest office of the land.

In such a way that Congress doesn't abuse it either.

If an Independent Prosecutor is created it would need to be tweaked. Maybe allow either branch of Congress petition a Federal Court in DC to appoint it. That way the other chamber or the President can't block it. It should also allow the Federal Court to expand the scope of the investigation if needed.

And, throw out the DOJ policy that exempts the President from prosecution as it violates the Constitution and it is a conflict of interest.

was to make sure they could evict a crooked president. Even if a president was convicted he could refuse to relinquish the office. The impeachment takes care of that.
