Which is a cabinet of the Executive Branch. This could happen in 1 day.”{
Doesn’t work that way. It would if you wanted a dictator or want to change the way our country operates.
Do that and you anger most of the Arab countries you will need to make your super-duper Middle East peace plan a success.
Absolutely it does. The POTUS is Constitutionally mandated to protect the country, and does so be identifying potential threats. Naming the MB as a terrorist org is well within his authority.
The President can make a suggestion about a group being put on the list, but I don’t believe he can single handedly mandate it. Here’s what designation requires (from the Sttae Dept website)
Designation
Once a target is identified, CT prepares a detailed “administrative record,” which is a compilation of information, typically including both classified and open sources information, demonstrating that the statutory criteria for designation have been satisfied. If the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Attorney General and the Secretary of the Treasury, decides to make the designation, Congress is notified of the Secretary’s intent to designate the organization and given seven days to review the designation, as the INA requires. Upon the expiration of the seven-day waiting period and in the absence of Congressional action to block the designation, notice of the designation is published in the Federal Register, at which point the designation takes effect.
By law an organization designated as an FTO may seek judicial review of the designation in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit not later than 30 days after the designation is published in the Federal Register.
Legal Criteria for Designation under Section 219 of the INA as amended :
1.It must be a foreign organization.
2.The organization must engage in terrorist activity, as defined in section 212 (a)(3)(B) of the INA (8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(3)(B)),* or terrorism, as defined in section 140(d)(2) of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1988 and 1989 (22 U.S.C. § 2656f(d)(2)),** or retain the capability and intent to engage in terrorist activity or terrorism.
3.The organization’s terrorist activity or terrorism must threaten the security of U.S. nationals or the national security (national defense, foreign relations, or the economic interests) of the United States.
Shouldn’t even consider, just do it. Most of the ME hates these people. Get rid of all of them
