This is a really important point to again trace this back beyond the Trump administration, both on the executive branch side, where every president since FDR has really um embraced the authorities that his predecessors accrued and then expanded on them.
And that is a a one-way ratchet, that is a continuous feature in American politics.
And on the flip side, if Congress is not jealously guarding its authorities and acquiescing to executive
Of incursion, nothing will ever bring that back into alignment.
So I think this is an area where President Trump has pushed maybe more aggressively or in a different manner than some of his predecessors, but it is a consistent trend.
Yeah, I think.
Of course, there are other areas where the president has taken a novel approach that might fall outside the realm of traditional presidential powers that read as power or as a more expansive presidency, and we can talk about some of
of those, but in terms of the the kind of constitutionally delegated authorities, this is the latest in a long running trend.
I haven't seen polling on it lately, but I would say decisions like this tend to be most resonant with those who hold the most passionate views about them.
And the biggest reaction I've seen beyond, you know, relief, I think, among a broad set of the population to the extent they were aware of it.
is from part of the president's MAGA base who
You know, despite the gains that he has made on the Supreme Court, appointing three of the justices turned on one of them, Amy Coney Barrett, as you know, really a traitor to the cause because of her vote in that case.
And I I think that you know demonstrates no matter how far this court is willing to push in favor of the powers of the presidency, or perhaps in um acquiescing to this particular president's policy agenda.
There will never be enough to satisfy his base other than, you know, complete submission.
I would add two things.
One is that in a polarized political system where it is very difficult to find bipartisan agreement to move anything forward, you see policy actors reaching for ways to grease the wheels, to enact their policy preferences with fewer vetoes, with less f trading of favors.
And whether that's, you know, changing the rules within Congress or or going to kind of a an anachronistic tool to pass with
Bare majorities, you know, some sort of revenue measure or how one acts within the executive branch, people are looking for a way to strip back the impediments to policy.
I'd also say that the unitary executive theory.
Is reshaping how the president sees and and uses the executive branch.
