With potentially many unenumerated powers vested in a unified executive, and an
increasingly independent one at that, could such a concentration of executive
power, especially when enabled by Congress, be an assault on democracy? Or can
such concentration be necessary in extenuating and (critically) temporary
circumstances (Think Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War suspension of Habeas
Corpus, or FDR and the Great Depression as well as WWII, or Donald Trump and
an alleged immigration emergency necessitating a wall)?
