There were plenty of Founding Fathers who leaned toward the "enlightened monarchy" camp and they left their mark in the extent of the President's powers.

Trump is above the law. Trump is the law. Your recourse are as follows:

1. Vote him out.
2. Take away his money.
3. Impeach him.

If this isn't to your liking, well next time remember elections have consequences.

Trump represents the law - he is not the law any more than a judge is. This is why there are methods to remove him in the same way there are those who represent government / healthcare / etc.
