Maybe continually allowing concentration and giving more and more power(s) to President / Executive Branch isn't such a good idea, as it promotes "legal / institutionalized corruption," more and more naked with each administration... unless, of course, the party out of power (and especially their rich funders) think "we want to have ALL of it when our term comes."
Which is why "fine people on both sides" will bitch and moan about more and more egregious displays of abuse of such power, but won't lift a finger or even talk about changing "the system."
You get Clintons, Trumps, Cuomos, Kennedys et al who are/were would-be kings, because parties need to perpetuate their power - because their money and their "rights" depend on it, the lives and freedoms of "ordinary" people be damned.
Instead of stripping the government and bureaucrats of some powers, the parties in power keep adding to them, hoping they will help them to entrench and advance their own interests, political and personal.
Be careful how much power you want the "government" in general and, in particular, the individuals at the top of the pyramid to have.
For example, pardons and impositions of tariffs should not be allowed to be in the hands of single individuals. (BTW, Sen. Ron Paul wanted to introduce legislation curtailing the tariff powers of Presidents)
"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. ... still more when you superadd the tendency or the certainty of corruption by authority. There is no worse heresy than that the office sanctifies the holder of it." (Lord Acton)
"Stroke of the pen, Law of the land. Kinda cool." (Paul Begala, an aide to Bill Clinton, said of executive orders)
"It's good to be the king." (Mel Brooks / King Louis, h/t Niccolo Machiavelli, author of The Prince)
"Of course the president's not the king. The president's far more powerful than the king. The president has the power that kings have never had." - Alan Dershowitz
