"TiTok: Law barring TikTok from operating in the United States unless and until its Chinese owner sells it.

Foreign aid freeze: The longer it lasts, blocking congressionally approved spending comes into greater tension with Impoundment Control Act.

Domestic grants freeze: The freeze has been temporarily blocked by two courts after plaintiffs raised challenges, including provisions in the Administrative Procedure Act and First Amendment rights.

U.S. Agency for International Development: A law in which Congress created U.S.A.I.D. and structured it as a stand-alone entity.

Inspectors general: A law that says presidents have to give Congress 30 days’ notice and a written “substantive rationale, including detailed and case-specific reasons” before any such removal.

Federal prosecutors:
Civil service job protections against arbitrarily firing federal workers without a good cause and without hearings before the Merit System Protection Board.

Birthright citizenship: The longstanding understanding that the 14th Amendment does grant citizenship to such infants; a federal judge has barred agencies from obeying this order for now."

This is like trying to convince a cat to stop killing mice by listing the ways it tortured every mouse it found to death . . .


The real test is what the rank and file - the people actually carrying out orders - do when the court orders and decisions drop. The stakes rise massively if they go along with it, as do the consequences for any particular action.

The court said Tik Tok had to go.
The freeze on aid and grants. It's administered by the executive branch and the President is the heaf of that, plus he has every right and responsiblity to make sure the process is properly run. As well as to check for fraud. He can order an investigation into the business practices in use at those places.
USAID, another case where it's an executive branch organization. Presdient can look into it and he can appoint someone to do it.
IG's, again executive branch. There is evidence the IG's suppressed information asked for by the executive branch, investigate.
Birthright citizenship, this is you best argument but there is nothing to stop the President again from looking into the practice that is run through the executive branch. The President has the authority to determine how the programs are administered and that gives him immense power to look.
So I suggest you read up on how the government actually works on a day to day basis. Congress may allocate money but Congress rarely looks at how the money is handle on a day to day basis. That's because it falls within the executive branch,..

It will be interesting to see what happens if Trump tells the judges to **** off. Will they scurry like scared mice or will the stand up to him? If they stand up to him is there anyone else left to enforce anything? He controls the executive branch and the republicans in the congress and senate are owned by Trump. ******s.

This list will get a lot longer I'm sure.

I do wonder who his legal advisors are, or does he even listen to them, because he seems to be getting some bad advice on the legalities of his E.0's.

Ask: what does standing up look like?

The courts have no army. The courts only have power if the executive respects their orders. Ditto the legislature.

Idealistically might is not right. Pragmatically, it is.
 
He is going to take the Panama Canal away from China despite the fact China never owned it. He operates in the dark about everything. He complained the U.S. ships are being overcharged while the person in charge states it is BS.

Considering how many extremely capable advisors a President has at his disposal its amazing how uninformed and unwilling to learn Trump is.

Even basic Google searches would help but nope, Trump seems to just wing it and relly on his self proclaimed genius.

This is a list of reasons for Trump to be impeached and removed from office.

Musk needs to be denaturalized and deported. His assets need to be frozen.
 
When will Americans realize this is flat out tyranny on behalf of the government, and there's a 2nd amendment right that's a remedy for this?

Haven't you people learned anything over the last 16 years ?

Captain Obvious says, well if it was "illegal" wouldn't something be done about it already ?

Now here's where it gets funny.

In your link there is evidence that this is Manipulation/Propaganda to get the SHEEP to FEEL that Trump is doing something bad/illegal! And to the Mainstream media that is their main goal. To get as many NOT SMART people to think as the Media
wants them to!
I tried to help you see where they are BS'ing you .

Just like "I COULD " win the Lottery, "I Could" get a Noble Peace Prize....Now if they had "IS" instead of "COULD" , then
you might have something to talk about.

How many Pre-Emptive Pardons do you think Trump will do? Or is that just a DEM thing?

Which is why the various state AGs need to be looking at legal ways to charge these criminals. It's obvious the legal arm of the federal government is corrupt to the core.

Your question is understandable considering you didn't have a chance to read the news last night, but there are two threads now about the filings that have temporarily stopped the EOs.

Use of the word "could" is slightly impartial because it's not excluding other interpretations.

The examples with a much more important impact concern trump being able to control the people who would investigate him. The Inspectors General were not afforded 30 days to vacate as required. The commissioners of the FEC serve a purpose in our elections and the current Chair of FEC remains in her position until a successor is approved by the Senate.

Both the IGs and the Chair are people, civil servants, who may discover crimes during the course of their business. If so, would you trust the new IGs to investigate trump? If yes, why?
 
Trump is just following Biden's lead by ignoring SCOTUS. Seriously, the hypocrisy of lefturds is breathtaking.
