If he leaves it on his desk without signing or vetoing, it becomes law - right? I predict he allows it to become law (without signing it), and the process starts which results in SCOTUS declaring it unconstitutional.

If he does that I will give him a pass. That would be a reasonable compromise. But by putting his name on it, he endorses unconstitutional legislation.

This little known facet of the Constitutional process allows the President to pass legislation on to the judicial branch without comment. Part of the 'checks and balances' construction of our system.
