The article examines the typical behavior of U.S. presidents to expand their power, highlighting recent examples such as President Biden's controversial student loan forgiveness and his claim about the 28th Amendment. It questions whether former President Trump's initial actions represent standard presidential maneuvers or a significant threat to constitutional governance. This discussion emphasizes ongoing concerns about executive overreach and its implications for democracy in the United States.
