Galen Druk: 特朗普政府对行政权力的理解和追求超越了现代其他政府,例如试图冻结国会通过的联邦资金、解散独立机构美国国际开发署(USAID)等。这种扩张引发了关于行政权力界限以及国会和司法部门如何制衡行政部门的问题。此外,行政部门越来越多地被用于降低经济的竞争力,降低政治中的竞争力和反对派,因为人们害怕行政部门的报复。美国人并非不关心民主规范,而是他们对候选人是否忠于民主规范的重视程度会随着他们对候选人是否会在其他他们关心的事情上为他们服务的信念而变化。 Peter Shane: 我主要关注行政部门在公务员制度、资金和政府机构实际关闭方面的行为,以及其他有问题的行政命令,例如针对多元、公平和包容(DEI)项目的行政命令。总统无权重新定义出生公民权,因为执行第14修正案的权力属于国会。如果总统的目标是阻止联邦政府的行动,而国会已经授权提供对外援助或环境保护,那么总统就面临一个问题,因为没有法律允许总统关闭机构或削减开支。单一行政理论认为,行政部门内的任何人都向总统报告,因此总统可以随意雇佣或解雇任何人。司法部坚持因为高级人才不愿屈从于总统的个人喜好清单而抛弃他们,这对共和国来说是一个巨大的损失。腐败和规范及机构的衰落会损害治理和经济。
