Seems like the balances of power worked properly here, though. The president went rogue, and the rest of the government told him to get fucked.
Even a lot of parliamentary systems have presidents, with similar controls. The problem with the US is that the legislature has been enabling executive power creep for centuries. If they’re already not acting in good faith, no amount of social rules will keep them in check.

The president shouldn’t be able to go rogue in the first place
Well, when you find out how to eliminate the human from the equation, you let me know.
