I just disagree with your assessment of HIS will to do something big. I don't doubt for a second he will take the right course here. I just don't know what that is.
Yet.
I actually hope you’re right, and I’ll be very happy to acknowledge it if that’s the case.
Powerful forces are aligned against him, especially within his own party. He may desperately want to invoke the EO but just not sure he can overcome the resistance. He also has to consider the long term effects of all this on his family and business. No small considerations there.
He’s in an excruciatingly difficult position. I’m sure he’s not getting much sleep these days. Come to think of it, the Founding Fathers probably did as well since they too had a lot to lose. ;)
