All of the sudden there is a lot of fear on the political left of an Imperial Presidency as Donald Trump comes into power. All of a sudden the left has discovered, that, wait a minute, presidents have all this power; they can use Executive Orders to do things. And it’s frightening, isn’t it?
Republicans now have no excuses when it comes to term limits and balancing the budget
Trump could also change things with an “autopen.”
Yes, that’s what the Democrats have built, a nation of mood swings. They liked it when President Obama did it because he mirrored what they believed. But they don’t agree with this new guy.
This is what you brewed up, Democrats. You built this situation and paved the way for someone to enforce power who doesn’t agree with you; you set the precedent!
Having consistent rules everybody follows is the only way to have a society. Anything else is abusive and an abuse of power.
