I am beginning to think that a lot of the problems that we are seeing from trump could have been solved if he had a basic understanding of the laws of the country. as such, might I propose that the next time a constitutional convention is called (as I don't think this is worth the trouble of a constitutional convention on its own), an amendment be proposed adding a certain level of legal training as an eligibility requirement for elected office? for starters, this is something that a large number of office holders already have, and I see no downside to an expectation that senators, representatives, and presidents have been trained in the law, such that they would then know the rules about what the law is, what their job is, what they are able to do, and what they are expressly prohibited from doing.
