Donald Trump's sweeping assertion of power since returning to the White House is testing the U.S. constitutional system of checks and balances established in the 18th century as the president faces scant resistance from Congress and tensions with the federal judiciary escalate.
The article from MSN discusses how former President Donald Trump has significantly tested the boundaries of the U.S. constitutional order through various actions during and after his presidency. Trump's tenure was marked by numerous legal and political controversies, including his attempts to influence the Justice Department, his role in the January 6 Capitol riot, and his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. These actions have led to multiple legal challenges and investigations, probing into whether they constituted violations of constitutional norms or outright illegal activities. The piece highlights how Trump's strategies have not only challenged the separation of powers but also the resilience of democratic institutions in the U.S., prompting discussions on the limits of presidential power, the role of checks and balances, and the potential need for reforms to safeguard democracy.
