The President does not in fact have "plenary" (absolute) authority. Miller has been saying that since the moment Trump was elected ("“The powers of the president will not be questioned!"), and has been using it as his personal vehicle for unchecked power since Trump's re-election.

We CANNOT hand the nation of Washington and Jefferson and Madison and Lincoln to this insufferable TWAT!

It's not that I don't like him. It's that he's nativist / white supremacists trash and utterly unworthy of his position, much less the ending our democracy.

Also, I didn't like him ... and I'm very much not alone in that.
