This is a similair thing Julius Caesar did, when he didn't get what he wanted inside the republican framework.

His actions, ended the republic in favor of a dictatorial regime.
... All those "republicans", that hold the word republic in high regards, should really explain to me, what "civic virtues" (a key component in a republic) Donald Trump embraces.
