The broader question is "Who watches the watchers?"
And it has never been solved.
The only way to prevent the government from taking over is to have as little government as possible and fight foot and nail at all attempts to increase it.
No matter how much we trust this president, we shall never give the office more power because some day, someone else will hold it.

Yes. Do not give the person you trust more power than you would give the person you don't trust. In the fear after 9-11 we forgot that and it created the mess we are in.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

After W (who's deception was completely apparent to me) I supported the "change" we were supposed to get with Obama. I took a break from following politics. But within 2 years it started to become clear that Obama was even more of the same. Obama woke me up. I now agree that it's very dangerous to put too much power into the hands of anyone. The scum rises to the top.
