You basically replace it with a system with more transparency but effectively the same otherwise.
Shit take, the system failed because it's flawed, increasing transparency isn't going to do shit in the long run. I don't know what the ideal system would be, but doing more of the same is a terrible idea.
There are elements of the US system which work really well, it would be daft to throw out the good stuff just because it's susceptible to infiltration and corruption.
IMHO you should keep what works, work out what went wrong, and fix things so that the same things can't go wrong again.
Eliminating money from the equation should be the top goal though, lobbying is inherently corrupt - the same as it is here in the UK, it's just not as apparent as it is in the US.
That's a reasonable take, but I think that enough things went wrong to the point that the new system that replaces it would have to be different enough that it isn't considered the same system at all.
Your constitution is an excellent document and provides numerous provisions on how to get out of this situation - something which Trump and his team ,along with the opposition ,know all too well.
It just needs to be protected from subversion from within. Not sure your founding fathers anticipated the corruption of the main law enforcement agencies - DoJ and FBI and who knows who else. I don't include the CIA in that description because they were corrupt from their inception - they're assassins and agent provocateurs.
