The title has a grammatical error in it. It should be, "How does a president become a dictator?"

    President Obama today issued a new Executive Order (E.O.) declaring a national emergency with respect to the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States posed by the situation in Venezuela. The targeted sanctions in the E.O. implement the Venezuela Defense of Human Rights and Civil Society Act of 2014, which the President signed on December 18, 2014, and also go beyond the requirements of this legislation.

    The warrant was issued by Trump - originally at 15M, Biden bumped it to 25, but Trump then bumped it again to 50. Not here to defend Joe, but you also shouldn't be defending Trump. Both bastards, but the Maduro thing is almost entirely on El Presidente Orangina.

No, by having a group of representatives that allow it. Many dictators were democratic elected. This is true for Hitler and Putin. It will be true for Trump and his descendants.
