[QUOTE="McGarrett, post: 38447, member: 91"] Under the presidency of Barack Obama, progressives came to love executive power. Congress doesn’t want to pass a law you like? No biggie: just make it happen with an executive order. Congress won’t change a law that you promised would be amazing? Easy: just tell a federal agency to promulgate a rule to “re-interpret” the law into something you prefer. Want to start a bunch of new wars without congressional authorization? Congress, shmongress. Just use a pen and a phone to order the invasion of another country. The thing about executive power, though, is that even executives you don’t like have the same power. That’s one reason why conservatives were so consistently WARNING progressives about executive overreach: Anything President Obama can do, President Trump can do, too. Trump's presidency will do wonders in restoring beliefs in limits on executive power. The unitary executive is old and busted.. BUT NOW the new hotness is bipartisan compromise across each branch of government. [/QUOTE]
