A recent survey reveals that 81% of Americans believe in the importance of checks and balances in government. Despite this, President Donald Trump has expressed views suggesting he sees Article II of the Constitution as granting him extensive powers. He has publicly stated, “I have the right to do whatever I want as president,” and recently on social media, he dismissed legal constraints with the comment, “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.” This perspective contrasts with the traditional understanding that Congress and the courts should have a role in governance. Meanwhile, the article also touches on other topics like military procurement, deregulation, and AI development, but the focus remains on the tension between presidential power and institutional checks.
