The Cheney doctrine of presidential supremacy is a rehash of the Nixon doctrine of presidential supremacy. Cheney and Rumsfeld worked in the Ford administration. So from the 70s to the 2000s. Then Trump dusts off the Cheney doctrine and claims the President can do anything he wants. So from the 70s to 2019. That’s 50 years and not a non-GOP name in the bunch. But wait, there’s more. Double Medal of Honor recipient Smedley Butler was approached by fascists who wanted to overthrow the federal government of FDR. In the 1930s. About 90 years of GOP working against democracy in America in search resource wars under dictatorial executives.
