and btw, you can actually try to form an opinion based on case law instead of willy nilly just believing whatever you want to make up,

Why not just read he Constitution, it is pretty plain English. No need for manipulative interpretations of plain English, just accept what it clearly says.

I suppose you might say that The President will likely not pin on a badge and make an arrest but I am pretty sure he can get it done anyway. He can direct that an investigation be made and charges brought in spite of what you think and I dare say that that has happened many times at least under Democratic Presidents.

As a final power Martial Law would certainly let him arrest at will. For president see the entire Lincoln Presidency.

Executive Order 9066

Despite the growing public pressure to act, government officials were uneasy about incarcerating Japanese Americans, especially those who were citizens, without a clear reason. Neither Attorney General Francis Biddle nor Secretary of War Henry Stimson believed the removal would be wise or even legal. Military leaders, however, as high up as Assistant Secretary of War John J. McCloy, insisted that this policy was absolutely necessary to ensure public safety on the Pacific Coast. Between the public demand for action and pressure from the military, Biddle buckled and told Stimson he would not object to a wholesale removal of Japanese Americans from the region. Stimson advised Roosevelt accordingly, and on February 19, 1942, the President signed Executive Order 9066, which directed the War Department to create “military areas” that anyone could be excluded from for essentially any reason.
You should be tired now of all the challenges yo have received on you opinion but feel free to muddle on, in the end you have an opinion that does not matter in the least and has no effect of law.

Don’t ping me again unless you provide an ACTUAL case where the POTUS actually was able to direct a case and not go through the AG chain of command.

Show me where he directed a court. Give me the case.

Show me where he acted in the role of AG in directing an actual case.

Dont write me again until you find it.
