The amazing USian checks and balances have delivered pretty much zilch since people really started touting them as the most effective defence of democracy back in '16.

Well, that's not true since checks and balances include separation of powers as a pretty big part of its concept.

Had Trump been able to pass laws by decree there would for sure not be any federal elections left in the US, so the fact that there's been some since then is a pretty solid deliverable.
