In his first month, President Trump has signed numerous executive orders, notably aiming to consolidate power over independent federal regulatory agencies. Asserting control, he invoked the phrase, "He who saves his Country does not violate any Law," reminiscent of Napoleon, suggesting a dangerous view of presidential authority. Legal experts like David M. Driesen criticize these moves, labeling the application of unitary executive theory as potentially dictatorial. The trend is underscored by recent Supreme Court signals, which may embolden Trump's ambitious consolidation of power, leading to alarming political implications if unchecked.
Trump's recent executive actions aim to expand his control over independent federal agencies, raising concerns about the legality and implications of his use of executive power.
Legal scholars are warning that Trump's approach to expand executive authority through unitary executive theory could lead to a dangerous precedent, potentially enabling dictatorial power.
