My first proposal was to order some large proportion of the fleet of federal vehicles to park in the SCOTUS parking lots. Not all crimes are horrible, like assassination. Some are just petty, annoying ways of making it clear how crazy it is to give the President this much power.

The Guano Islands Act let 19th-century sailors claim deserted guano islands for the USA. We had over 100 of these and still own 10, militarily administered by the president. If we save one for Trump's exile, that leaves 9 for the justices. (Kagan, Sotomayor and Jackson should get first pick.)
