2 rounds but here's how it would play out:

In early May we have a presidential referendum. One question on the ballot: "Should Donald Trump be reelected?" If the answer is yes, he's sworn in in January like normal. But if the answer is no, both parties start their nominating process. National primary in early August and the official election in November.

No, because it basically infringes upon the right to participate freely in one's government (in this instance, by potentially removing one's ability to run for President in a given election).

Pretty sure the incumbent would always lose the former in a landslide, yet have at least a good shot in the fall.

Yeah, change in the abstract is nearly always more popular than a clear version of change.

Over the internet, where you can sit from a computer and vote and e verify everything.  That will eventually happen, vote by mail, wouldnt do, due to the loss of ballots

I have read an bestdissertations.com about the possibility of Trump getting elected once again. I am not really in favor with everything that is happening in our country right now. but I need to  put my trust on our government. because that's the right thing.
