    What will that matter, if a President can ignore the law and do whatever he wants? The President’s power (when exercising his core Constitutional duties) is only limited by his imagination. The SCOTUS said so!

      I say abolish the executive branch. Congress should be the boss, they can appoint a prime minister to run executive things but that executive needs to be on a very short leash.

      The military can be commanded by the prime minister but congress should be their ultimate boss.

      Right now the executive has way too many guns available to it and a very high bar for removal and that’s the core problem.
