The question the country faces then, and the crux of the constitutional crisis, is whether the irreversible and macro-scale policies of the United States should be decided by what the people's elected representatives can get to a majority to vote for, or if the president can just do it without that

Founders made it clear that no system could withstand a broadly corrupt government.
We weren't a global superpower back then capable of roiling all semblances of world stability, and most modern agencies didn't exist. Frankly, the president has a lot more power to directly affect people's lives now!
POTUS being the head of a ludicrously powerful war machine was never in the design.
