10 new precedents Republicans could regret when Democrats are in power

House and Senate Republicans are supporting new precedents for presidential power that may have unintended consequences if Democrats take control in the future. These precedents include limiting classified information shared with lawmakers, usurping Congress's power to levy tariffs, and unilaterally freezing spending approved by Congress. Additionally, presidents can now take control of a state's National Guard, accept gifts from foreign nations, and actively profit from their time in office. They can also try to influence the Federal Reserve, direct the Justice Department to prosecute political opponents, and punish media companies and universities that don't share their views. Furthermore, presidents can aggressively pardon supporters, including those who made large political donations. The recent Supreme Court ruling limiting nationwide injunctions has underscored the risks of partisan precedent-setting, as it may allow future Democratic presidents to implement legally shaky policies without being blocked by the courts. This could lead to a situation where presidents can push through their agendas without being held accountable. Trump has already previewed some of the policies he plans to implement, including ending birthright citizenship and terminating funding for "sanctuary cities." These new precedents have been set with minimal GOP dissent, which may come back to haunt them if Democrats take power in the future.
