    Literally the only power the courts have ever had is the executive’s decision to abide by it. “John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it.” so even 200 years ago there was never anything actually stopping a president to expand his power. De Tocqueville pretty said the same when he did his deep dive into American politics.
