...need to be reviewed and adjusted after the way Trump has abused them. No one, not Nixon not anyone who came before, ever took the kinds of liberties with presidential power that Trump has. No president, not even Nixon, has been this much of a narcissistic asshole before. These are uncharted waters. But these powers HAVE to be revisited.
