If the Articles do not mention Emoluments and abuse of power, particularly the usurping of the Congresses power of the purse.

If the next Prez can get away with moving money appropriated for vets or fire fighters or solar power, then build space Force or new roads to the next trump tower or a new bridge to nowhere.
If that then there will be no need for a
Reichstag fire.
Congress's power will be further compromised.
