President-elect Donald Trump will be one of the most powerful presidents in history.

He will be able to take advantage of his own filleting of guardrails during his first term.

The lesson of Trump ’s business and political careers is that he seeks to obliterate all constraints.

He has crushed opposition in the Republican Party and driven out political heretics.

The scope for Trump to stretch historic interpretations of his executive power is immense.

Trump has plenty of models for his second term: Russia 's Vladimir Putin and China 's Xi Jinping .

The greatest inhibition to presidential overreach is the sitting president, who can chose to remain within bounds of accepted executive action.

The most effective clamp on Trump ’s future power would be a Democratic House majority.

That’s who they had as a model in mind,’” Brettschneider said. “When you have somebody who’s not a model of virtue, they can really wreak havoc.”.
