The Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity : The Imperial President’s Toolbox of Terror: A Dictatorship Waiting to Happen
The powers amassed by each successive president through the negligence
of Congress and the courts—powers which add up to a toolbox of terror
for an imperial ruler—empower whomever occupies the Oval Office to act
as a dictator, above the law and beyond any real accountability. It
doesn’t even matter whether the people elect Trump or Clinton, this
abuse of presidential powers has been going on for so long that it has
become the norm and it will continue. Thus far, Congress, with little
spine, less integrity and too busy running for re-election, has offered
little attempt at oversight, enabling the president to ride roughshod
over the Constitution.
