During the last presidential debate, both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump talked extensively about what they plan to “do” if elected president. As I watched, it occurred to me that the Constitution authorizes virtually nothing either one of these candidates want to do.

In this episode of Thoughts from Maharrey Head, I talk about the authority the president was actually intended to wield and why the founding generation was adamant about keeping those powers extremely limited.
