Not really.
Even setting aside whether the changes are good or not themselves, no President before has thrown away laws mandated by Congress the way the current President is.
Further, this wasn’t even considered a possibility and is only happening now due to a confluence of events…
- the Supreme Court passing rulings that essentially make the President unaccountable
- the SC passing rulings preventing Congress from delegating powers which in practice means a lot of laws Congress had passed in the past have essentially disappeared (since the agencies tasked with making decisions related to them are no longer allowed to)
- Congress becoming completely supine and giving away as much power as they can
- a President that has accepted and is operating on what was until now a fringe legal theory of unbridled executive power ie “unitary executive” theory.
