Excessive extralegal powers

Nature

Highly placed political figures always can draw upon greater powers than they are legally entitled to. Royalty and heads of state are permitted their positions, finally, on the basis of trust by the citizenry (or disinterest, whichever is stronger). The result is that where there exists a leader, there exists the possibility of their grabbing power before the legal systems may take effect to stop them.
