I wondered about that. POTUS has the authority over Justice, I thought?

Thank you.

***POTUS has the authority over Justice***

True... but more to the point, separation of powers; I do not think the Congress, or the courts have the power to tell the President that he cannot exercise his Constitutional powers.

Of course the separation of powers principle is being crushed lately. I have written Trump a few times to urge him tpo stop letting the courts usurp presidential powers. Presently the fed court is telling Prez Trump that he must continue to enforce DACA even though it is the result of an executive order - unconstitutional legislation; Prez 0bama can legislate but Prez Trump has no power to act in similar fashion.

Thomas Jefferson said that one of the greatest threats to the Republic would be the emergence of a tyranny of the judges; that time has arrived!
