Trump versus the Courts: What will the American system of government become — the rule of law or the rule of the president?

President Trump has expanded the power and authority of his office like no other, and he is not stopping.

At stake is the foundational document of the United States of America – the constitution.

From undermining the courts to attacking prosecutors, judges, and the justice system itself, this week Four Corners examines how President Trump is pushing the limits.

Trump's Power and the Law from the American public broadcaster PBS is a forensic examination of how the law is being remade to serve the ambitions of one man.

It draws on 20 interviews with Trump allies, opponents, legal experts and journalists to piece together a picture of a system under extreme pressure.
