THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Sunday, August 26, 2018
After President Trump's exit - either by imminent resignation, or impeachment or one-term tenure - American Presidentialism will never be the same again. The unlimited powers of the Presidency which were presumed would never be tested by a "reasonable" President have been found to be dangerous under Trump, and will be formally curbed. The use and time length of Executive Orders, tax returns and campaign financing for candidates, pardon prerogatives, family members in White House, emoluments matters, security clearance issues, even deposition and inditement while in office, all will be looked at closely. The Union will become more perfect, and the ongoing opprobrium on America's democracy will be nullified. That is a promise, not a threat.
