This is an excellent analysis and I hope in the future we can address this with actual policy to help us avoid our current situation from happening again. Both sides of the aisle need to know they are being observed to ensure the American people get the best possible representation
Both sides used to do this organically. The balance of power between the branches of federal government was well defined in the Constitution. The balance has been upended by a litany of laws and SCOTUS decisions like Citizens United and the Trump Immunity decision. This is what opened the door to this fascist power play we are in currently. The abomination known as the Unitary Executive Theory that supposedly gives ultimate authority and power to the Executive branch.

Agreed - what should happen organically is now requiring laws and policies.
