Dictator for Life: The Rise of the American Imperial President By John W. Whitehead - March 08, 2018
Here’s the thing: we already have a president for life.
Sure, the names and faces and parties have changed over the years, but really, when you drill down under the personalities and political theater, you’ll find that the changing names and faces are merely cosmetic: no matter who sits on the throne, the office of the president of the United States has, for all intents and purposes, become a unilateral power unto itself....
The presidency itself has become an imperial one with permanent powers.
