10 U.S. Constitution Article II. The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. The President shall be commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States,... ; he may require the opinion, in writing, of the principal officer in each of the executive departments, upon any subject relating to the duties of their respective offices, and he shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment. He shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the Supreme Court, and all other officers of the United States, whose appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by law....
11 He shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the state of the union, and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in case of disagreement between them, with respect to the time of adjournment, he may adjourn them to such time as he shall think proper; he shall receive ambassadors and other public ministers; he shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed, and shall commission all the officers of the United States.

56 Steve Bannon, CEO of Campaign and Senior Advisor to President Elect Irish Catholic working-class background Harvard MBA Navy Vet Goldman Sachs investment banker Director of Biosphere 2 who shifted from space to environmental research CEO of Breitbart News who made it a leading proponent of alt-right commentary
57 Breitbart News & the Alt Right Antigovernment, White nationalism attacks immigration, multiculturalism & feminism Uses social media to attack journalists, traditional conservatives, Jews & liberals Uses memes such as feminism is cancer & other racist and sexist stereotypes Promoted birther movement, Tea Party and figures such as Sarah Palin After Bannon took over in 2012 became the leading alt-conservative venue Aligned with Trump after Cruz failed to build support
58 The Black Swan President The worst-case scenario no longer comes from ongoing gridlock but from unrestrained power. Worst case: President Trump encounters a foreign policy crisis. Building the wall is not part of a worst-case scenario. The worse scenario would be if the president-elect were to purse trade protectionist measures. We need a movement that meets his bad ideas at every turn. Perhaps the best check on President Trump will be an organized Left, one capable of enough unity to prevent what could not be stopped on Election Day. He could easily cause as many deaths and inflict as much hardship [as the Iraq War] by reversing the world s progress to combat climate change.
59 A political leader bends to the world, not the other way around. A best-case scenario for Trump would be for him to rationally pursue his policy objectives. A Trump presidency may give the legislature the chance to restore some of its long-lost luster. Trump should focus on campaign policies that can command significant Democratic support. The way for the best-case scenario to happen is for him to appoint largely non-ideological businesspeople to senior positions Top talent in the GOP (and maybe Democrats) [must] ensure that Trump doesn t become isolated or isolate himself. A best case scenario: He works with Republicans and moderate Democrats in Congress to reform healthcare after abolishing Obamacare.
