Key DSA Proposals for the Presidency and Executive Branch

• Abolition of the Traditional Presidency: The DSA platform proposes replacing the standalone, directly elected presidency with a system where the country's leader is chosen by—and directly answers to—an expanded legislative branch (Congress).

• Elimination of the Electoral College: The platform calls for scrapping the Electoral College to end the separate election of the executive branch, arguing it weakens democratic representation by disconnecting the executive from a unified national popular system.

• Weakening Executive Veto/Checks: Under the proposed framework, the traditional separation of powers where the president and Congress check and balance one another would be reduced, placing the executive under the authority of lawmakers.

• Broader Governance Overhaul: The executive proposals are paired with other radical structural changes detailed in the Workers Deserve More Program, including drafting a new U.S. Constitution, abolishing the U.S. Senate, and replacing the Supreme Court with a judiciary subordinate to Congress.

So they want the President and the Supreme Court subordinate to a Congressional majority. Does that mean they'll accept the rule of a GOP majority in the Legislature? Of course not.
