"the supreme executive power shall be vested in a governor." The word supreme means highest in authority.

So if he has the Supreme EXECUTIVE power, how does the trump the Supreme JUDICIARY power? Keyes argument is that there is no need for the Florida Supreme Court (I agree that there isn't. They are useless) and that Jeb is the King! It don't wash.

The Executive has a co-equal duty to interpret and uphold the constitution.

By ignoring Section Two, Governor Bush failed in his sworn duty.

You didn't read carefully. He said Jeb's executive power trumps the power of the cops who said they would stop him or his agents. Cops are part of a lessor executive branch.
