Funny, I wouldn't want the commission to waste time on preparing for a Trump-level President. I would want the commission to assume that the POTUS characteristics more common in POTUS1-44.
Noting that German citizens are docile is really quite funny. I think most of the citizens that have lived in Europe over the last 110 years or so would profoundly disagree with you. Even today there are many in the EU there are very worried that the EU has transformed into a vehicle for German interests.
FWIW - The outside experts wouldn't have to be those three I suggested BTW. The EU just allowed travelers from 15 countries to visit the EU. So the commission could invite outside experts from any EU country or any of the 15 countries that objectively are doing better than the USA.

110 years? You consider German behavior in WWI and II as exercises in civil disobedience?
Okkkkkkkkkkkk . . .
Whatever adjective you want to use, I believe South Korean, Taiwanese, and German publics are far more compliant than the US.
And the present dispute over masks, social distancing, etc. is unfortunately directly related to the personal style of the present incumbent. That's the gorilla in the room. You really can't do an investigation of the societal response without evaluating that.

I wouldn't give you two cents for all your fancy rules if, behind them, they didn't have a little bit of plain, ordinary, everyday kindness - yeah, and a little looking out for the other fella, too.
