Exec Overreach Lessons in History You Can’t Ignore

In today’s episode of Lest We Forget Historical, host Lillian Cauldwell delves into an article by Richard Kreitner, published in The Nation, titled A Warning About the Dangers of Executive Orders—From 40 Years Ago. This thought-provoking piece highlights how the current president isn’t the first to issue a flood of executive orders while sidestepping judicial checks. Back in the Reagan era, a similar pattern emerged, though with key differences—President Reagan didn’t obstruct justice, attack the media, or manipulate the law for personal gain.

Forty years ago, The Nation sounded the alarm about the risks of unchecked executive power, warning of the consequences if such actions went unchallenged. Fast forward to today, and we’re witnessing a new administration that not only claims to be above the law but also seeks to create and enforce it on their own terms. Join us as we explore the historical context and the enduring implications of executive overreach..
