Julian Zelizer : Democrats need to stand up to executive power and find some way of limiting the president's powers.

He says this strategy is not going to work because it's not possible to create an institutional check on executive power.

Zelizer says partisans want a partisan check on things the out-party president is doing, but they're not interested in institutional checks on the presidency itself.

Both parties have made it clear over the past 30 years that they are not seriously planning on these types of majorities.

No party has won a large and durable majority in more than a generation.

If we wait for this to happen before limiting presidential power it probably never will happen.

We can hope the courts will take effective steps to address executive actions.
