@RepPeteStauber @RepFischbach Stop with the distraction and comment where you stand with the President's statement to Iran and the world that "a whole civilization will die tonight".

@NRSC @chuckschumer @WSJ This is an editorial opinion. It's not fact based, and neither is the Republican Party.

@GOPMajorityWhip You aren't living in reality.

[M.McG @ScrewedNotNaild]

@GOPMajorityWhip These are nothing more than shallow PR posts to deflect that you are a congressman that doesn't believe in democracy.

[PBS News @NewsHour]

More than three-quarters of Americans say that the issues that divide the United States pose a serious threat to the future of the nation's democracy, according to the latest PBS News/NPR/Marist Poll.

Seventy-eight percent of respondents said there is a serious threat to American democracy, a concern shared by a majority of all political parties. That sentiment has remained largely steady since Marist first asked the question in the aftermath of the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

The result comes as the poll also found that two-thirds of Americans believe the system of checks and balances that divides power between the White House, Congress and the courts is not working well.

President Donald Trump's closest allies designed his second-term agenda to move fast and test the limits of executive power. Over the last year, Trump has pushed his policy priorities at a frenetic pace, often bypassing Congress entirely and opting instead to sign executive actions, many of which have been challenged in courts.

The erosion of checks and balances – and the political divisions over whether that is good or bad for the health of democracy – potentially could have long-term consequences, said constitutional law scholar Kimberly Wehle, who teaches at the University of Baltimore School of Law.

"What people don't understand is, once the system no longer functions, it won't function when you need it to function either," Wehle said. "When the apparatus of democracy fails then we just have to hope for a benevolent president."

On the other hand, John Yoo, a professor of law at the University of California at Berkeley and former Justice Department official during the George W. Bush administration, says the consolidation of power in a strong executive is a return to previous norms.

Yoo argued that Trump's executive actions over the last year are meant to restore a pre-Watergate worldview, one where the presidency had "more discretion, more power to it than it does today, and less congressional interference."
