Bottom line is the legislature, court and executive are seperate and equal branches of govenment and your WaPo quote has Miller reaffiming this. And your intial sentence quoted does not say the President has absolute power, but I understand how those infected with Trumpenfuhrer fever might infer this.

Kidding, I have TSA Pre status.
