As always, the Constitution is not the problem: Congress is the problem. When members give up their advise and consent power because they fear their voters, a primary challenge or (more commonly) are lazy and don't want to do the work, the executive branch becomes unfettered.

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.
