They oppose Presidential power because they don't want elections to matter. That's the true purpose of the Administrative State: to nerf elections and enable unfettered rule by unelected bureaucrats.
Rod, another great piece by you and Russ. thank you. A few points: I think that Wilson initiated the Administrative state, FDR turbo charged it, Johnson doubled it, Obama weaponized it, and the auto pen administration executed the weaponization.
When the msm and Democrats warn that Trump is destroying democracy, what they really mean, and fear, is that he’s destroying the deep state. And more than his passion for peace, his talent for tariffs, or his crusade against crime and illegal immigrants, his disgust with the deep state is what they fear most.
And finally, I have no fear of a Democrat president executing on their agenda, not just because they already do so by using the deep state, but because the more success they have in implementing their policies, the more the voters reject them at the ballot box. Think Obamacare in 2010.

Have a great No Kings day!
I very much agree.
