Separation of powers is a vital component of healthy governance. The problem, though, is that Democrats only embrace these checks and balances when they’re convenient.

The Democrats ignored the Constitution during the Clinton and Obama regimes; the Republicans ignored it during the
George W. Bush regime. Now, enough Republicans ignore it during the Trump regime.
Checks and balances for thee,
but not for me.
