System is broken but your remedies miss the mark. Big diff with presidential/parliamentary systems is unitary exec/leg power. Cant change.

Also, arg re return to regular order confuses cause/effect. We get omnibus bills precisely bc polarization has made reg order impossible.

Trump as prime minister in a parliamentary system? A hundred times worse than the current situation. Less restraint on the ruling party.

Electing the House from multimember districts, which was once common in the US, would inhibit gerrymandering & make it + parliamentary.
