Since Donald Trump's election in 2016, experts have warned of a constitutional crisis in American democracy, driven by actions such as the firing of civil-service employees, attempts to end birthright citizenship, and the defiance of court orders. A recent judge's ruling highlights the risk of the administration refusing to comply with judicial decisions, which could escalate tensions between the executive and judicial branches. This situation raises concerns over the separation of powers and Congress' reluctance to act, fueling fears of an emerging authoritarian regime.
"The current moment exhibits characteristics of a constitutional crisis, with the Trump Administration defying the checks and balances critical to American democracy."
"Our democratic principles are threatened as government officials act outside the bounds of their constitutional authority, leading us closer to an authoritarian state."
