Constitutionally, he can’t (of course). But here’s the thing. No one knows for sure, but there are now many thousands of federal laws and regulations. Some researchers have put the number at over 100,000.
So all a president needs to do is find a law or regulation that kinda/sorta gives him legal cover. Then presto! He does what he feels like.
The press and the opposition party are supposed to be checks against this behavior. But the press is now an arm of the Democrats. And the Republicans are fast asleep.
thanks

That's what I was thinking a couple days ago. The wholesale forgiveness plan he originally wanted wouldn't cut it, but with all the progressive legislation over the past century investing powers in the Executive, he could find things here and there . . .
