During the past several months since the President returned to the Oval Office, he has tested the limits of governmental control, unilaterally introducing recent measures, cutting public funds and workforce, and trying to place formerly autonomous bodies further subject to his oversight.

Constitutional Battles Concerning Military Deployment
