No matter who is in the White House, we need to be vigilant to curb presidential powers and strengthen separation of powers. Trump's toady Nunes is an example of the weakening of separation of powers.

Will someone please tutor this guy on separation of powers, conflicts of interest, etc.

Over the last century-and-half we have seen a dangerous strengthening of the President's powers. It doesn't matter who is in the White House.
Some of the Republicans in Congress need to decide whether their loyalty is to Trump or the Constitution and ethical standards.
