So fascinating! I do wonder how much the Covid response made current and future presidents feel like they could get so much more done by using executive power to push things through. Might feel like the ends justify the means. I think also if you take the population size of America when Thomas Jefferson was president it’s exponentially more now so it’s so interesting to see how the government that was designed for so few people with no technology or social media is transferring to the rapid speed of development we’re seeing today. Thank you for this essay I learned so much about what’s happening today and the snowball effect it’s having. I especially enjoyed learning about the impacts tariffs are having!
This article is as fascinating and thought-provoking as it is scary. This is such a clear trend that no one seems to be talking about. Wonderful job bringing it to the light in such a succinct and interesting way.

Thank you for your thoughtful comment. Working on the follow up essay.
Enjoyed this post, Bob. Thx! Not sure I understand where an effective remedy for presidential overreach will come from…
Thank you Brian. I will be working with a number of people to come up with remedies which i will write about in a future essay. Send all ideas along.
