[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Article II, Section 1:  “The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States.”[/quote]

Ah but what is executive power?  It's the power granted to the President by the Constitution, the Legislature and the courts, and nothing more.  Not whatever the President wants it to be.  We are not a dictatorship.  The President does not have whatever unlimited powers he wants.[/quote]

No. Read duties of the president in the Constitution. As the legislature, you don't redefine the duties of a president by definitions and statutes. It's stated in the language.

You don't create federal cabinet level departments under the executive branch and then tell the administrative state they have power over the president. No way in hell is that how our govt is supposed to run.

[b]US codes and statutes do NOT obviate the Constitution. Ever.[/b][/quote]

The bold is true. But, you seem to have missed the fact that if the legislative branch approves legislation and the President signs and that the judiciary branch finds that it is constitutional, the statute is not obviating the Constitution. The so-called administrative state does not have power over the President but the President does not have the power to ignore laws.

Look at what you are arguing though.

Merrick Garland sues Texas to state that only the federal govt can enforce immigration law. It's decided in the federal govt's favor.

Two years later when ICE is now doing their jobs, the same side of the aisle is suddenly whining about states rights and how DJT is a king!

Does everything have to be relitigated and re-lawfared when control of the govt changes parties?

Are we a nation of laws or a nation of men?[/quote]
