Trump has the whole world’s economy in his hands — and that’s frightening, write Rex Nutting
With the American trade war careening closer to the cliff, the fate of the world’s economy may be determined by just one man: President Donald Trump.
Trump has shown no interest in working with lawmakers to move legislation through Congress . Only two major pieces of legislation have been passed, which means almost every decision is being made by Trump and his cabinet of corruption and incompetence. Trump is leaning on executive orders even more heavily than Obama did.
They knew that power corrupts, and so they ratified a Constitution that would divide and dilute power. Their government was an intricately interlocked machine designed to balance the interests and powers of each branch, each institution, each faction against the others.Trump isn’t the first president to expand the powers of the executive, but he has taken presidential authority to the extreme.
The president’s role in policy under Article II is largely limited to vetoing legislation. He is commander in chief of the military, and has the power to negotiate treaties . He also may recommend to the consideration of Congress “such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.” I’m not talking about impeachment; I’m talking about Congress taking back some of the powers that it has unwisely ceded to the president over the past 220 years.
