If one were able to assume any of those titles, wording of laws wouldn’t matter, they would be able to replace the laws however they saw fit. So trying to phrase that would be redundant yet pointless.
The laws aren’t written in any way that facilitates that for obvious reasons. It still requires a lot more effort (and to more directly be a dictator) if the system currently in place does not allow for something without force.

Dictators, emperors, supreme leaders, etc. do not hold themselves to the law in the first place, so should we just never bother passing any?
Certainly not. Just pointing out that it may be an empty gesture from Republicans.
I’m happy to let them keep making such empty gestures. Especially since Trump’s win is not a foregone conclusion.
Good point
