Julian Zelizer : Donald Trump is on course to change American life more than any president in recent history has.

Zelizer asks: Has Trump ever manically promoted someone else’s interests more than his own? He says neither Lincoln nor Roosevelt approached the self-righteous behemoth before us now: a president who sees himself as above all law.

Donald Trump has floated the idea of running for a third term.

John Avlon : Washington 's final act as president was to bend before republican principles: to voluntarily resign after two terms.

He says the founders, especially Madison and Jefferson , worried about a permanent army being used as an "engine of despotism".
