impossible, when the “express power” in question can ONLY be interpreted as contradicting his claimed “implied power.”
I anticipte shenanigans.
or constitutional “jiggery-pokery”
Inherent authority is bestowed when the President follows the constitution not when he’s not nor when he’s acting personally.
Now Trump may try it anyway but then state governments have a role lol
So we know how proponents of “originalism” will rule, right?
Right?
Hey, why are you laughing?!?
The only reason we have a President is because the Constitution says so.
“Dear Leader is the only true authority, and all shall bow down”
There I fixed the title.
Dems in Congress must adapt. Shut it all down. 100% obstruct mode
This is it.
Let's win this.

Divine Right of Kings?
If you want an example of treason, look at the way Trump is betraying our allies in Ukraine and Europe, and literally lending aid and comfort to our enemy, Putin.
This is just sparkling criminality, not treason.
But I’d be fine if he was left alive to spend a few years thinking about how much everyone hates him.
How scary is it that we're relying on John Roberts and Amy Coney-Barrett as the last bulwark against an outlaw president and his administration?
And what would we call a Trump refusal to follow the court's orders? The continuation of Trump's coup.
Either the Constitution is worthless, in which case, he's not president...or it gives him the authority of the presidency and also defines what that authority is. He can't have it both ways.
Bigger question is, "What if SCOTUS ignores the Constitution?"
Motherfkrs gonna make him a dictator.
Why couldn't we at least get a cool one.
And this is why the founders created impeachment!
Yes. We are there.
Here in America.
He hinted a lot today about being their king…
They'll need some sort of elaborate coronation ceremony to properly invest him with his (bogus) "inherent authority."
In any case, it's too late for Roberts to save his reputation.

"... the President currently has no way of ensuring the agency is running...."
The president can appoint someone and send the name to the Senate for confirmation, can't he?
Perhaps it’s time for a reminder
Buh bye Congress he doesn't need ya.

Yes, that would sum up what having a constitution is all about.
I wonder if he will also be patting Chief Justice Roberts on the back and thanking him for this one in the future as well.

“Consent of the governed” doesn’t mean shit to people who don’t respect consent.
This will end with the claim that the constitution derives its power from him, not the other way round.
Start with the first thread and go to the second.
WHY REMOVAL: https://bsky.app/profile/scooptown.bsky.social/post/3ljzu73wi7s2q
HOW AND WHO DOES THE REMOVING:

It was an election to save democracy, and democracy lost to a effeminate dictator.
Aka Treason.
FUCK HIM AND THE MUSK HE RODE IN ON !!!!!!!!
