Our country was originally envisioned as having three co-equal branches of government – the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. The Senate and the House of Representatives would be in charge of creating laws, the President would be in charge of executing on those laws, and the Supreme Court would interpret those laws agains the Constitution. No where was it envisioned that the President should rule by fiat and executive order.
I would support legislation that drastically limits the scope of Executive Orders and limits the duration of recess appointments.
Further, the United States Constitution explicitly state that “the President, Vice President and all Civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” This makes it clear that the Founder did not envision a president that could operate above the law, and our Nation operated just fine for 248 years without giving the President a get out of jail free” card.
I would support legislation from Congress reverse the Supreme Courts disastrous ruling in Trump v. United States.
