If you have doubts that a bill is constitutional, but sign it anyway, are you upholding your Oath?

Huh, then why do we have a Supreme Court? Or did the Founders put the Supreme Court into the Constitution just for fun?

Come on, your alls superior knowledge can answer that question.

You all seem to pride yourselves of being the "know alls and be alls".

Are you replying to me or to everyone with a different opinion than you? Stop painting with a broad brush.

As a last resort. If an unconstitutional bill is passed by Congress and signed by the President, they are to rule on it. But each of the aforementioned two has a duty to forward only constitutional bills/laws to the next step.

I certainly never said that. If that's the way you see me, I'll take it as a compliment. Thanks.

Maybe to settle disputes about the constitutionality of laws
after they become laws?

I used to think the story we told about selling the dumb kid
rabbit pellets for smart pills was just a myth.

It is not illegal for the Congress and the President to to pass Unconstitutional law.

That being said, CFR s*cks!
