Outside the Beltway

Permanent damage appears to be coming (oh, and it enhances the authoritarian power of the presidency as well).

Elections, the states, and the presidency edition.

A breaking of the social contract.

Or does it?

Presidents have wide latitude in this area but many say 47 is exceeding his authority.

There may be no exit.

Yet another test of Executive power for the courts to resolve.

The 47th President is flooding the zone.

The courts will decide whether we have a President or a King.

Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and both Roosevelts pushed the envelope, too!
