Russell Vought is the brain behind Donald Trump’s executive order blitz.

The now-director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) spent months before the election drafting plans in secret as part of Project 2025 .

Vought wrote an essay in the American Mind, a publication of the arch-Trumpist Claremont Institution.

Frida Ghitis : The problem with U.S. democracy is that presidents are not powerful enough, not presidents.

She says the problem is that each branch flexes enough muscle that the others are scared to cross it.

Ghitis says Vought has a novel theory of separation of powers and disdain for constitutional precedent.

She asks: What's the remedy to the alleged deficit in presidential power?.

Russell Vought can call this whatever he wants, but it’s fairly clear what it amounts to: a recipe for a constitutional crisis. And it’s one the president currently appears to be following to a tee..
