Relatively quickly after the start of President Trump’s second administration, critics accused it of generating a constitutional crisis (see here in the NYT).
As it turns out, the unitary executive theory isn't really an issue. Trump has absolute control over the legislature and near-absolute control of the judiciary. He could do everything he's doing now if he were the PM in a parliamentary system with a disciplined bicameral majority and a packed judiciary. The question of whether he could override an independent legislature and judiciary is moot.
The real problem is that the majority of Americans have either voted against democracy or chosen not to vote to save it.
