It is American in that it is happening in America and it is being allowed to happen. While I agree with your assessment, your vaunted checks and balances imply differently.

When you advocate for a monarchy or a dictatorship the problem is that inevitably, at some point, the leader will force you into something you don’t want. You’ll beg for checks and balances then. This is literally why our country fought for our independence.
Oh I agree, but as you point out, last time it took a war. How strong is your Constitution if it takes a war to create it, and another to enforce it. I would argue that makes it pretty worthless. The Constitution should be heralded as the guiding principle on which society is built, not torn down.
