Did you pay attention to his last impeachment?

The much vaunted checks and balances rely on Congress and the supreme Court checking the executives power. Since the presidents party controls both, this doesn't happen. The Imperial Presidency has been absorbing power from the other branches since the 90s, and we are pretty close to the end of that process right now.

70s, at the latest. 30s, realistically and bipartisanly speaking.


I read "Imperial Presidency" and instantly thought "Vote Palpatine/Vader 2024. What's the worst that could happen?"
