In an interview with Axios, President Trump asserted that he has learned "there are no limits" to his power following the military conflict with Iran. He characterized the recent MOU as an "unconditional surrender" by Iran, despite critics' claims to the contrary. Democrats are expected to use these statements as campaign fodder for the upcoming midterm elections, portraying the President as "out of control."

Representative Adam Schiff discussed the "Protecting Our Democracy Act," a package of reforms intended to prevent future abuses of presidential power. Schiff compared the legislation to post-Watergate reforms, targeting the pardon power and the emoluments clause. Critics argue the bill is a partisan effort to prevent Donald Trump from running for office again in 2024.

A discussion on the limits of presidential power references Abraham Lincoln's view of being carried by events.

Representative Ron Paul stood as the lone vote against HR 5481, arguing that subpoena power for the investigation into the British Petroleum Deepwater Horizon oil spill should belong to a Congressional committee rather than a Presidential commission. Critics suggest the current structure allows for a lack of transparency similar to the 9/11 Commission.
