The statement that is true about the debate over an executive (or president) is:

Some delegates felt an executive would abuse power and become another monarch.

During the debates surrounding the creation of the U.S. Constitution, there were significant concerns about the potential for an executive to gain too much power and resemble a monarch, given the historical context of the American Revolution and the fight against British rule. Some delegates were in favor of having a president, while others were wary of concentrating too much power in one individual.
