This administration is dominated by those who were attempting to exactly that by claiming the presidency has absolute power over the entirety of the executive branches of government. It was then called the Unified Executive Theory advanced by Bush's administrative attorneys.
Perhaps, just perhaps, people will be awakened to the warning that the Republican Party is determined to create an authoritative government in which the president and his cabinet would be able to unquestionably be above any reproach in their decisions. This is the identical to the form of government operating in China and Russia and is quickly gaining support in a number of European governments. It is a reaction to the demagogues scapegoating immigration as the root cause of the workers difficulties as the Industrial Age is coming rapidly to a close. It is a absolute lie that they are being sold. The fact is that over 85% of lost jobs are due to automation and an additional 1% are just outmoded products. Trump and his ilk are pied pipers that are coning the working class as they lead them to be fleeced. The end result is they will be helpless victim with no recourse. Virtual slaves to the oligarchs.
The present situation in out nation is complicated by the absolute polarization that has taken place due to the unlimited ability of the radical conservatives to indoctrinate the masses. The spew absolute hatred who doesn't unquestionably adhere to the principle that Democrats are the enemy that must be crushed. No opinions are to be tolerated, with no exception, if dare to question the Republican representatives' assertions. The situation at present is at a impasse with no solution except capitulation or determined resistance.
The last opinion will soon be determined at the polls. If the Democrats fail to stop this juggernaut assault that is going to the extreme of even challenging the basic principle that no one is above the law we are headed for a disaster.
