Father of daughters. US (for now?) by way of Argentina. Don’t blame me, I voted for the ladies both times. There will be pictures of dogs. My dog.

On plenary power:
• Definition of plenary authority: Plenary authority means complete and absolute power over a specific matter with no limitations. While the U.S. government has some plenary powers (for example, Congress's authority over immigration), those powers are assigned to different branches, not consolidated in the presidency. • Constitutional limits: A president's power is always subject to constitutional limits and the oversight of both Congress and the judiciary. The landmark Supreme Court decision in Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer (1952) established that a president's power must come from either the Constitution or an act of Congress. • No "plenary power" over citizens: Courts have repeatedly rejected arguments that the Commander-in-Chief clause gives the president independent authority to interfere with the rights and duties of U.S. civilians. In 2025, a federal judge blocked a Trump administration order to deploy National Guard troops in Oregon without the state's consent, reaffirming that the president's power is not absolute.
