In his viral Substack essay PREVAIL, author Greg Olear lays out the #Liz48 plan — a ten-step roadmap to legally and nonviolently remove Donald Trump and his corrupt administration by jumping the presidential line of succession. The key move? Ousting Mike Johnson, electing Liz Cheney as Speaker, then impeaching Trump and Vance to place a constitutional defender in the Oval Office.
In our conversation, I argue that Olear’s proposal — as ambitious as it sounds — exposes a deeper truth: the presidency itself has become too powerful. Trump isn’t the disease; he’s the symptom of decades of executive overreach. The cure lies in reclaiming Article I power — returning control to Congress and the people.
