[image: Founding-Fathers-Unfettered-Presidential-Power-James-Madison.png] The American Democracy Minute Radio Report & Podcast for March 6, 2025 (Timely to June 30, 2025) Brian is away today, so we’re rebroadcasting a report from last July, which is particularly apt for the shattering of the norms of the presidency we’ve witnessed in the first weeks of the Trump second term. ================= Anti-authoritarian feelings ran high in the years before and after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, as the Declaration’s litany of complaints against the King suggests. So it’s unlikely the founding fathers would have supported expansion of Presidential powers, and absolute immunity for “official acts.”
