Constitutional Lawyer Challenges Scope of Unchecked US Presidential Powers
Constitutional lawyer Bruce Fein has raised significant concerns regarding the expansion of executive authority in the United States.

The debate highlights ongoing tensions regarding the limits of presidential immunity and the potential for executive overreach in the current political climate.
