Any democracy or Popular govt. runs on the premise of checks and balance. Govnt. derives its authority from its people and it is answerable to them.
In this case just assuming that the present administration is responsible for this epidemic, ( if its the word I want t use ) , Can the next administration sue this administration for all its mis deeds?
After all if a CEO of an organisation does take a decision which results in considerable loss then he is removed and sued. The persons responcible for policies should be similarly acted upon so that they or the subsequent persons actually behave.

In a presidential campaign that has involved battles over everything from Iraq to driver%u2019s licenses, one sweeping topic has gone curiously unexamined: Does it diminish American democracy if we keep the presidency in the same two families that have held it since 1989?
If Hillary Rodham Clinton serves two terms, then for 28 years the presidency will have been held by a Bush or a Clinton. By that point, about 40 percent of Americans would have lived their entire lives under a president from one of these two families.
Wouldn't that make the American democracy seem a little, er, ours?

Yup, it does sound like a lot like our dynastic rule.
A tongue-in-cheek web site called Bush-Clinton Forever is already proposing Jeb Bush in 2017, Chelsea Clinton in 2025, Jeb Bush's son George P Bush in 2033, Chelsea Clinton's husband in 2041 and George W Bush's daughter Jenna Bush from 2049-2057.
