America picked a Business man for a second time as President back in 2024….
A business man that was a convicted felon….
A business man that had little regard for rules , procedures and the Law….
He HAS pushed the Presidency to do things that others have NOT even thought about doing disrespecting judges , Congress and vast sector ‘s of America…..
As was the thought after his first time in office….
There ARE those looking to pull back Donald Trump’s actions as President…
They WILL be MORE SERIOUS This time…..
Whether they succeed could determine whether Trump’s aggressive exercise of executive powers will be limited to a finite stretch of U.S. history or will instead become a model for every president to come.
Rep. Jamie Raskin (Maryland), the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, said that Trump’s uses of presidential power can and must be reversed — but doing so will take decades.
“We have a massive reconstruction task ahead of us,” Raskin said in an interview. “Fortunately, reconstruction has a great history in our country, and when it’s allowed to work, it has been a lot more successful than either authoritarianism or revolution. … We will have to go department by department, subject by subject, and public purpose by public purpose to determine what we salvage and what we re-create.”
From the beginning of the republic, the three branches have jostled for control over spending, war-making, immigration and virtually every other government function. Trump is hardly the first president to try to sharply elbow the other branches out of the way….

With a possible recapture of Congress just one month away, Democrats’ efforts to limit the staying power of those changes are heating up.
Several lawmakers are crafting bills to curtail a president’s ability to declare emergencies, which Trump has used in novel ways, declaring about a dozen emergencies to justify policies as varied as imposing tariffs, accelerating deportations and deploying the National Guard. Reps. Suzan DelBene (D-Washington) and Don Beyer (D-Virginia) have introduced a bill forbidding a president from levying tariffs under the guise of a national emergency unless Congress agrees….

Some historians say many of Trump’s actions will be hard to reverse. It is far easier to smash through guardrails, they say, than to rebuild them. Most modern presidents have expanded executive power at the expense of Congress. Whether that trend continues could depend in large part on whether the legislative branch begins to reassert itself as a counterweight to the presidency….
…
Some liberals say Democrats should take a lesson from Trump on how to govern with force and purpose. Trump does not hesitate to take actions that skirt the edges of legality, happy to let the courts sort it out. He pressures private firms to back his policies. He issues sweeping executive orders rather than trying to persuade Congress to act….
…
Even while they plot a post-Trump future, many Democrats say they cannot simply return to a status quo that voters hated. Yet it is far from clear what their new agenda will be…
…
“Rebuilding will be challenging, no doubt, but former DOJ officials from Republican and Democratic administrations are already thinking about how to get it done,” Gupta said. “Seasoned career leaders have told me that they would return to rebuild the department, even knowing lifetime tenure may be a thing of the past.”…
…
The Supreme Court’s path is unclear as well. Some Democrats privately echo a sentiment voiced by Clinton — that the justices may not give future presidents the same leeway they have accorded Trump. The court has already been far more deferential to Trump than it was to Biden, these Democrats say.
“I have a sinking suspicion if our party wins the White House in the next election, there will be a hallelujah moment and the Supreme Court will rediscover the Constitution,” Clinton said on ABC’s “The View” last year…..
Note….
The next President, most likely a Democrat, will have to be cautious in making changes against his OWN Presidential power that Trump HAS used….
Politics doesn’t stand still….
As soon as Trump leaves the stage?
Things Change….
The fight over a Trump impeachment HAS begun already.…
Former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel (D) on Sunday pushed Democrats to focus on ethics reform instead of a third impeachment of President Trump if they win back power in Congress after the midterm elections.
“I’m for the investigations. Hold this administration accountable, which is what the Republican Congress and Senate has refused to do, which is why rather than set up a wedding party in your registry at Williams Sonoma, this administration allows Donald Trump Jr. to allow the Kremlin to be where you register,” Emanuel told NBC News’s Kristen Welker on “Meet the Press,” referencing a ProPublica report about a Russian oligarch funding the president’s son’s wedding celebration.
