Yes, it could. Almost any law could be misused (and most have). We
just have to rely on the innate goodness of our president and his
sense of fair play. But even if the president goes rogue (or a little
funny in the head), he can be replaced at the next regularly scheduled
election.

Even sooner in the case of Richard Nixon who misused his powers to direct a
team of burglars to illegally enter the offices of his rivals to look for
dirt. He didn't get to finish out his term, as I recall, as a result.
Those are the sort of things that Han and I worry about that don't seem to
bother you. It's been alleged that more than one president used the FBI to
gather dirt on their political enemies, Presidents from both parties. Power
corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
