The comment about the president's authority is only the tip of the iceberg.
There has been too much worship of the executive branch and the person of the president for the last several administrations (Trump notwithstanding). A form of worship that is unhealthy for a republic.
Congress has been scorned for many years, but boy, do they have a high opinion of themselves!
And the Supremes. Don't get me started. What is the purpose of a supreme court that uses clever legal ruses to avoid considering cases of huge import to the intended functioning of political processes in the Republic?
Cheers
