WASHINGTON (AP) — The House Jan. 6 committee’s investigation of the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election and the events leading up to the U.S. Capitol insurrection is raising questions about former President Donald Trump’s role and whether he committed crimes.

The various schemes and talking points that witnesses have revealed also highlight what a president has the authority to do.

Government and legal experts say the bigger question is: Can further limits be put on presidential authority to make sure there are no repeats of 2020 in future administrations?

no they don't.
 
The founders were exceptional - but not perfect. Our executive branch has WAY too much power.

It shouldn't. We're talking about just 1 man (or woman). There should be much more strict limits on what that person can do.

This is not a partisan issue.
