Why You Should Listen
The American presidency was designed to possess energy, but never domination. This essay explores how executive authority expands during crisis, how precedent quietly reshapes power, and why restraint remains essential to constitutional government. Drawing on the founders’ design and the lessons of American history, it explains how power gathers at the center of government, often with our own consent, and why preserving the balance of the republic requires vigilance not only from institutions but from citizens themselves.
