@jcclement@mastodon.social EVERY president wants to concentrate powers in the executive branch, or else they're not doing their job. The US system was specifically designed based on the idea that different parties will balance each other out by working in their own interests, that's how they check each other's powers.

If the president doesn't want to concentrate powers in the executive branch then he would allow the other branches to get too powerful. Instead, the present is supposed to want to concentrate powers while the legislative and judicial branches refuse that because they want to concentrate the powers in their own corners.

That's a fundamental part of maintaining the balance in the US government.

The Supreme Court has been adamant in saying that no one is above the law. People talking about writing legislation to reverse the Supreme Court don't seem to understand what the Supreme Court actually said, and they are instead being misled by a bunch of special interests and politicians looking to score points.
