President-elect Donald Trump has already suggested he is ready to push the limits of checks and balances.

Trump has demanded Republicans in the U.S. Senate agree to "recess appointments," in which Congress allows the incoming president to unilaterally appoint his nominees without their approval.

If Congress doesn't agree, Trump may try to use an untested constitutional authority to do it anyway.

Trump appointees Musk and Ramaswamy argue their approach is the opposite of a power grab.

They argue the president has the power to curb government spending that has been authorized by Congress .

Former Trump White House attorney Ty Cobb said no individual in American history has stressed the Constitution the way Trump has.
