Will one of the American nettimers take a few moments to explain something to a constitutional ignoramous such as myself.
For those of us outside of the long standing narrative put about is that the US constitution is so cunningly constructed with -checks and balences- so as to ensure that the President can never be a dictator/king/emperor. And yet it appears (at least froma distance) that he is able through this instrument called -executive orders- to do whatever he likes. Can someone explain this apparent contradiction. Has he (or Bannon) introduced in his campaign (and now in government) the political equivalent of Blitzkrieg in which the sheer speed and number of initiatives create panic and confusion in his enemies? Where, if any, are the lilekly constraints and when, if at all, will they be able to actually constrain?
