...on the dangers of an "imperial presidency".
Of course, the real danger is the combination of an executive branch insisting on virtually unlimited "wartime" powers -- when the war in question is, itself, unlimited because there is no definable foe from which peace can be sued.
That combination means, ultimately, a reworking of the Constitution in a manner that has never before been contemplated.
Anyone ready for that debate yet?
