You are right. He did everythng he could legally. I don't fault him for obeying the law. But I will never vote for him for President. Sometimes a leader has to break the law. It's been said of Lincoln that "sometimes you have to suspend the Constitution to save the Constitution." Lincoln was a leader. Jeb Bush is a honorable bureaucrat. Nothing more.

It wouldn't be a matter of breaking the law, it would be a matter of disobeying an illegal court injunction forbidding him to enforce the law. If someone wanted to make something of it, the legislature would have to impeach/convict and if he's following the legislature's law then there's no basis for that.
