“There are three co-equal branches and she’s at the top of her portion “

The branches are not co-equal. That’s a myth like separation of church and state or checks and balances. Not in the Constitution.

You are, of course, correct. The legislative was supposed to be supreme, though the President had significant powers in his own right. The courts were considered clerks for the most part, not close to co-equal until John Marshall legislated himself the power to rule on constituionality of law (which has warped into declaring things NOT in the constitution to be constitutional and things which ARE in the constitution to be unconstitutional, but I digress).

By this logic, the head of the house would be perhaps OVER the President. But in the 200 years since our establishment, for various reasons, each branch as evolved to where the judiciary has the most power, the executive the second most, and the congress the least. DACA, for example, proves that the congress is totally unnecessary. A President established a new policy that actualy is against the black and white letter of the law and when another President tried to kill it, a court enshrined it as untouchable. Law of the land, no congress required.

So I stand corrected.
