I would say that it's not "new" that presidential power has expanded. That's very new, and every president over my lifetime has expanded it bit by bit.

4547 is just doing so at a much more rapid pace and using obscure laws that no one wanted to take the time to clean up.

I expect that if we get out of this the American populace will insist Congress tighten up its books and repeal and clarify some of its more obscure laws.

Thanks for the chuckle!
