A monarch, however, does not compromise. As Alexander Hamilton explains in Federalist 69, a monarch decrees, dictates, and rules through fiat power, which is what President Obama is attempting. When the president embraces the tactics of a monarch, it becomes incumbent on Congress to wield the constitutional power it has to stop it.

According to Ted Cruz in his book, a fundamental characteristic of a monarch is their refusal to compromise. He draws on Alexander Hamilton's insights from Federalist 69 to illustrate how a monarch exercises control through unilateral decrees and decisions. Cruz suggests that such an approach is similar to what he perceives in President Obama's governing style, where he asserts authority without seeking consensus or collaboration.

Cruz warns that when a president employs tactics akin to those of a monarch, it becomes essential for Congress to assert its constitutional powers to check the executive branch. This calls into question the balance of power and the role of elected representatives in safeguarding democracy from potential overreach by the presidency.
