Trump's Power Moves Challenge U.S. Constitutional Balance

President Trump intensifies efforts to expand executive authority, defying judicial rulings and facing limited resistance from Congress.

Donald Trump has aggressively pursued a consolidation of presidential power during his second term, challenging the constitutional separation of powers.
The administration has defied judicial orders, including a recent case involving deportations, and Trump has called for the impeachment of judges who oppose his policies.
Trump's actions align with the 'unitary executive theory,' seeking to undo post-Watergate reforms and centralize control over the executive branch.
Congress, controlled by Republicans, has largely ceded its oversight role, enabling Trump's expansive actions and weakening legislative checks on executive authority.
Legal experts and judges warn that Trump's defiance of judicial rulings threatens the rule of law and raises concerns about the stability of the U.S. constitutional system.
