We are heading for a constitutional crisis because the president neither understands nor respects the limits on his power that America's fundamental documents prescribe.
There are times in Washington when events shift into fast forward. The last two weeks have felt faster than that.
Article II is the president’s job description. Like any job description, it spells out what he should do — and, by implication, what he shouldn’t.It says that the president is commander in chief of the armed forces; that he has the power to appoint officials once Congress authorizes their positions; and, most important, that “he shall take care that the laws are faithfully executed.”
But no president’s rights are absolute. And if Trump had read the Founding Fathers, he would know they saw foreign governments meddling in American politics as a threat, not an opportunity. But the real tip-off to Trump’s autocratic view of the presidency is the way he describes his political opponents as enemies of the state.
