"But the Constitution says he can't do that!"

I know, he knows. That's why he is trying.

Unitary executive theory (advanced by project 2025): make potus able to rule through decrees. The Enabling Act in Germany in 1933 did this, lead directly to deaths of ~50 million and burning 2 continents down.

Technically German constitution from 1919 was “in effect” until 1949. Enabling Act made constitution de jure only (by law, not practice); it was technically there the whole time.

History can rhyme.

@davidaugust A Constitution and laws are only as effective as 1) their interpretation (see SCOTUS 2A & Roe v Wade) and 2) their enforcement (see labor, environmental, etc during any Republican administration).
