Baron de Montesquieu is known for his ideas about the separation of powers, which advocate for a system where the legislative, executive, and judicial branches maintain distinct authorities and can check each other's powers. This would prevent any one branch, such as the presidency in the hypothetical situation, from having absolute power.
