Dismissing this as some petty doom-to-fail attempt to fulfill some narcissistic desire would be foolish, as recent presidential history, from GW and especially through Obama has shown us the levels we have allowed executive overreach to rise. Obama designed the blueprint for achieving things without Congressional approval.
- nickff 6y agoExecutive branch powers have been increasing at least since the Great Depression, arguably beginning with or before Teddy Roosevelt.
- alharith 6y agoSure, but not to this degree. We are in perpetual war, excuse me, "targeted campaigns in the interest of National Security" because of the last two.
- pwned1 6y agoIf you think executive overreach started with GW, then I suggest you go back a little further in history... around 70 years or so.
- alharith 6y agoSee my sibling comment. If you think the overreach the last 2 decades is the same as the previous 5 then I don’t really know what to tell you.
