President Donald Trump and his opponents are having an intense disagreement over the amount of power that the federal government's executive branch enjoys under the U.S. Constitution. Many of those opponents are Democrats, yet quite a few right-wing Never Trump conservatives are arguing that the Constitution doesn't give presidents nearly as much power as Trump thinks it does. Why would you come to Washington, D.C. just to be a rubber stamp for a president of any kind?.... VandeHei stressed that any Republican who favors empowering the executive branch under Trump needs to "insert President AOC and a liberal Congress today did X." That's exactly what you should be doing with the power of the federal government in a moment of great chance?'
