Over the eight months following Trump was reelected to the White House, he has pushed the boundaries of governmental control, unilaterally introducing recent measures, cutting federal budgets and staff, and trying to bring formerly self-governing institutions more directly within his purview.

Legal Conflicts Concerning National Guard Use
