The article discusses the potential constitutional crisis in the U.S. as Congress relinquishes its powers to a powerful president who exhibits unilateral authority that threatens republican values. Critics note the president's actions, such as undermining birthright citizenship, evoke concerns about constitutional integrity. Yet, while the president's overreach is evident, a true constitutional crisis would entail overt defiance of judicial orders. The political system is under extreme stress, highlighting long-standing structural disrepair, as previously noted by legal scholars who delineated between ordinary political conflict and actual breakdown of constitutional order.
"Congress has essentially surrendered its power of the purse to an unelected co-president who has seized control of much of the federal bureaucracy."
"The actual president has asserted a unilateral executive authority so powerful and far-reaching that it threatens the republican character of the American political system."
