The Founders did not intend to create a serial king; their goal was the opposite. James Madison and his cohort had a specific intent: to separate the powers of the state so that autocracy would die in its crib. By removing checks and ceding authority, the legislature has allowed too much power to accumulate in the hands of one individual. The season has come for the people's representatives to take that power back.
It's past time for Congress to curb executive overreach.
