“Constitutional Scholar” my arse.
I read his class materials.
Average.
What? We have academic evidence for Obama??
Obama was an “instructor” not a professor. His U of Chicago collegues said he was not scholarly, and lazy.
The only reason the Current Occupant ever studied the Constitution, was because he was looking for loopholes.
Finding none that were suitable and satisfactory for his purposes, he simply defied the clear meaning of the relevant clauses.
Going back to a President who had grown progressively unpopular, Harry S Truman attempted a similar unconstitutional act, by directing his Secretary of Commerce to carry out his order to seize the steel mills , on April 8, 1952. This resulted in almost immediate blowback, and the order was quickly quashed, as there had never been any authorization by Congress for such an action.
Truman had relied on the “Commerce” clause of the Constitution, but vastly exceeded his authority by making a unilateral declaration.
Current Occupant doesn’t even look for such a clause, he just goes pushing through on the presumption it is easier to gain forgiveness than to seek permission.
His “forgiveness” card is pretty well used up.
