Power and the Presidency Overreach in U.S. History

In this episode of Lest We Forget Historical with Lillian C, Lillian examines the history of U.S. presidents who have abused their executive powers for political agendas that strayed from the vision of the nation’s Founders. She explores how these leaders manipulated their authority to engage in dubious and reprehensible acts—silencing the media, spreading falsehoods, and bending institutions to serve their domestic and foreign policy goals. Lillian challenges us to reflect on the safeguards designed to prevent such overreach and asks the critical question: Are we doing enough to stop the rise of unchecked power and prevent the emergence of a dictator?
