This proposal scores 24.0 on constitutional damage (just below threshold) and 25.8 on distraction (above threshold) with D=-1.8. Rule of law (3.5): Executive directive to 'force' independent grid operators raises regulatory authority questions but lacks detail on legal mechanism. Separation of powers (4.0): Attempting to direct independent grid operators represents executive overreach into traditionally independent regulatory space (FERC jurisdiction). Regulatory capture (3.5): Energy pricing directives could benefit specific industry segments. Policy_change mechanism adds 15% modifier; federal scope with broad population adds 20%. Severity: Moderate precedent concern (1.15) for executive control over grid operations. B-score elevated by outrage framing ('forcing', 'bend to his will'), media-friendly energy/affordability angle, and pattern-matching to regulatory overreach narratives. Intentionality moderate (6/15) given political framing. Classification: Mixed - both scores near/above 25 with minimal delta. Confidence reduced to 0.65 due to limited sourcing (single headline) and lack of specifics on actual legal mechanism or implementation details.
