    It’s an argument in favor of having more checks on the Executive, I’d say.

    No shit. Too bad the supreme court* declared the head of the executive as above the law while running for office, and congress’* refusal to impeach him for his obvious corruption and executive overreach has effectively declared him as above the law while in office. checks and balances on a corrupt executive branch can only work if the judiciary and legislative branches haven’t also been corrupted. But, alas, this is where we are.

    * Given that both of these bodies are stuffed with very small people, I shall no longer capitalise either of them
