Excellent editorial on the powers of the Presidency and the federal agencies' recent insistence that they are outside the control of the President and basically a separate branch of the government.

the Democrats LOVED gerrymandering when they were able to use it to benefit themselves, but started hating it when it started benefiting Republicans. Liberals need to imagine that Trump creates 100’s of government agencies, with MAGA’s that can never be fired and that no future Democrat can do anything about.

That is what it is like dealing with these swamp people Trump is getting rid of.

“The Executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America” is a hard clause that Scotus will soon, IMO, restore.

Excellent observations.

One really gets the impression that FDR thought he was going to live forever, and be president forever.

As much as Truman tried to re-form the government to provide some rational structure and accountability, the damage was done. The ‘Smart Men’ were running the show and beginning the process of implementing The Blob state.

“If Presidents can’t control the Executive Branch, elections don’t really matter.”

If the Judiciary can control the Executive Branch, then elections don’t really matter.

There, fixed it

Trump’s administration has ordered agencies to scrutinize every rule, regulation, and policy that exceeds Congressional authority, violates the Constitution, or undermines national interests. The goal? To declare these unlawful edicts null and void.

If he actually accomplishes this, he'll belong on Mt. Rushmore if (and only if), he simultaneously returns "Federal Lands," National Monuments, and such to the Several States. Those were enacted via equally unconstitutional multilateral treaties, now held at the UN (now there's a blast from the past... lots of great FReepers on that thread, now dead, gone or discharged).
