A constitutional crisis is a situation which a legal system's constitution or another basic principle of operation appears unable to resolve; it often results in a breakdown in the orderly operation of government.
The segment of the US population that voted for President Trump and the Republican Congress might approve of the administration's initial salvo of appointments and executive orders.
According to the Gallup Poll on January 13th:
- More Americans disapprove (51%) than approve (44%) of Trump's transition
- His transition approval fell most among political independents
- Majority consider Cabinet picks "average" or better, but 44% rate them as subpar
He is not off to a good start. Consider the job model for a President of the United States.
"As chief executive officer of the U. S. Government Enterprise, a president has certain management discretions and responsibilities:
• Design of the service delivery processes and systems to carry out Congressionally enacted laws and regulations that have been approved by the President
• Staff the organizations that enable the service delivery processes
• Equip the organizations and service delivery systems with needed state of the art technologies
• Guide service delivery system performance with plans and programs that include performance metrics
• Propose new laws and regulations
• Propose changes in laws and regulations that includes scrapping obsolete provisions
The U. S. Government Enterprise is organized by departments and agencies as a means of compartmentalizing the expertise that is aligned with providing four primary outputs:
1. Domestic tranquility provided
2. Common defense provided
3. General welfare provided
4. Liberty secured
The Commander-in-chief is the top executive and is also the top expert in Constitutional law about which the incumbent is the leading executive implementer and often the author of the new and amended legislation.
