  The fact that the US still has functioning separation of powers is counter evidence. People may gripe about fuzzy areas being stepped on and norms pushed (and they should gripe!), but there's a huge chasm between separation of powers in democracies and China.

    Calling in the marine guard without congress approval seems a little bit un-separate, but I'm not an expert so I'm not going to continue this conversation. You have an opinion and I have my very inexpert one too.

      The Marines were rebased within the bounds of Constitutional and legal powers, as was the National Guard federalization and deployment. Not agreeing with a thing doesn't make it illegal. If Congress wants to prohibit Presidents from pushing these areas, then they're free to do so. (And expect they will once the clock tocks)
