“Throughout President Donald Trump’s first term, I recall shouts that he had overstepped his authority under the law only to discover, oftentimes, that the power he was wielding had been bestowed upon our president by a feckless Congress. What I found even more disconcerting was that at no time did those complaining seek to limit these excessive presidential powers. It appears, as Sarah Isgur suggested, that their concern was not with an imperial presidency, only with this current person as that imperial president.” (01/26/26)
