You are backwards. It's not that the President has any power there is absent a law to the contrary. It's that he only has those powers given to him by the Constitution and the laws of the land.

What law, specifically, permits him to stand-down law enforcement who have been overtaken by courts? What law, specifically, allows him to act in tandem with the U.S. Congress, to tell the courts their jurisdiction? What law, specifically, grants him powers above his Constitutionally-limited power?

Do you see any irony in the fact an elected president with term limitations is restricted by unelected judges who remain in power for life?

Did someone say something about the branches of government having equal power?

See post 488 for the definition of executive power. What law, specifically, permits him to stand-down law enforcement who have been overtaken by courts? What law, specifically, allows him to act in tandem with the U.S. Congress, to tell the courts their jurisdiction? What law, specifically, grants him powers above his Constitutionally-limited power?

Good questions. See this essay.

How many times do I have to explain it to you?

All he had to do was invoke the Fifth Amendment, save Terri, and he would have set the judicial supremacists back ten years in their quest to become the dictators of America.

Instead, he has given them a great victory and advanced their cause for them.

With friends like this, who needs enemies...

What law, specifically, permits him to stand-down law enforcement who have been overtaken by courts?

U.S. Constitution

Article. II.

Section. 1.

The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.

What law, specifically, allows him to act in tandem with the U.S. Congress, to tell the courts their jurisdiction?

U.S. Constitution

Article. I.

Section 8

To constitute Tribunals inferior to the supreme Court;

To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;

Article II

Section 2

...but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

Article III.

Section. 1.

The judicial Power of the United States shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.

Section. 1.

Article. IV.

Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State. And the Congress may by general Laws prescribe the Manner in which such Acts, Records and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereof.

What law, specifically, grants him powers above his Constitutionally-limited power?

Those are his Constitutional powers in concert with Congress. The judiciary refused to recognize them and even made the public statement, through Judge Whittemore, that those powers don't exist. The response to that was silence.
