To qualify, the crisis should be listed here:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitutional_crisis
If Wikipedia becomes unreliable, defunct, or does not list a crisis but there's a broad consensus that there has been one, then I'm open to resolving according to a different source.
Update 2025-02-10 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Broad Consensus Clarification
If Wikipedia lists a constitutional crisis but there is a broad consensus that it has not occurred, the resolution may be based on a different, less biased source.
A broad consensus requires more than strong disagreement (for example, stark differences between left and right perspectives); in such a case, Wikipedia remains the guiding source.
Ongoing events mentioned on Wikipedia do not yet qualify as a full-fledged constitutional crisis.

@Shai I do however think it's plausible that the executive branch will use elon musk as a proxy to break the law, and then trump will pardon him. Then they will use terrorism laws to defend musk against people who try and push back against that.
@Shai I would argue that it looks like they are setting the stage up for precisely that sequence of events.
@MatthewYglesias argued in 2015 that a constitutional crisis was coming in the next few decades: https://www.vox.com/2015/3/2/8120063/american-democracy-doomed

@skibidist Haha. I remember referencing the economist in a left wing discussion and being told it's obviously a far right source, just look at the name.
