but because our system was never designed to anticipate a straight-up self-dealing criminal in the highest office.

Actually, it was. The courts have authority to reverse illegal policies, and Congress has authority to remove the POTUS. What the Constitution was not designed for was a corrupt POTUS, with majorities in Congress and SCOTUS aiding and abetting the crimes. That leaves it up to voters, unless Congress, courts, and POTUS, agree to rig the elections.
