Do you believe in the superiority of the presidency?

This is what I do believe, I believe that the US Constitution vests 100% of the power and authority of the Executive Branch with the President of the United States. That means EVERYTHING that falls within the Executive Branch is under his purview and control. Period.

Even when a radical liberal is president?

The Legislative Branch has been ceding its power to the Executive Branch for decades now. First and foremost they let all powers of going in to military conflicts reside with the President. They have not declared an act of war since WWII. When writing laws, rather than being specific and precise in the language of the law, Congress vests the authority with the administering authority to craft regulations. Well, that is ceding power to the Executive Branch. If the Legislative Branch wants to get some power back from the Executive Branch it can do so legislatively and craft laws in ways that limit the Executive Branch's power to execute those laws.

So when Congress appropriated money to the executive branch with limits on it is To be spent… the president can use it anyway he wants?

Will you believe in it when someone you don’t like is president.

IMO the Founders saw the president as just another citizen, albeit one with more powers granted to him/her by the Constitution than the rest of us have. That's one reason why he's addressed as "Mr." and not "Your Highness" or similar.

As the chief representative of our country, I prefer to see POTUS behave in a dignified, rational, intelligent, calm manner. This blustering, bullying, juvenile name-calling, screaming, and constant whining is disgusting. It is embarrassing. It is not who we are. Well, it's not who *I* am. MAGATs' results may differ.

As for your last comment about President Trump wanting it to be a Kingship, I won't even entertain such silliness and will allow you to live within your own delusion. I decided long ago that I will not nurture others delusions. Call it tough love Jarod

In other words, you know I’m correct and have no response, you know I’m correct and so you will pretend, truism defined!

I was told recently that because of many decades of Congressional behaviour SCOTUS now says that American foreign policy is whatever the President says it is.

"I was told" always proceeds utter bullshit. I've noticed that Faux does this a lot, and so does your toxic MISTRESS.

I would have to see specific text, but in general no. Given you don't do contracts, you are probably out of your league here. Words like "may" and "shall" matter greatly.

If the text of the legislation states that the money is to be spent on immigration enforcement, that is pretty broad.

My point which you obviously went out of your way to ignore is that if Congress wants to see monies spent a specific way then they need to be specific and precise. But, they haven't done that for a long time.

They have been leaving the language broad and to the interpretation of the regulators. They probably thought that was great because they knew the regulators would grow gobblement and they could fade the heat and avoid responsibility. But, now there is a new Sheriff that is taking control and now you don't like it. Don't hate the player.

Is that how you approach the court? You make some baseless claim that you can't back up and then say "neener neener you can't prove me wrong, therefore I win"? Seems more like an elementary school tactic to me. But, whatever floats your boat.

Is that how you advertise for customers Jarod? Billboards with your picture and a caption that says "I rock on a little trafficked political message board. Pick me"

I misspoke, he ignored lower court rulings regarding his student loan bailout. But, maybe you are ok with that?

He did, and then continued to litigate it until a final ruling was made, this is legitimate and the way it works.

Thank you for admitting you "misspoke". If you look into it, much of the Trump party line is "misspeaking", to enrage his base.

Nope- I believe in the inferiority of the presidency. I don't belive that there has been a president in my lifetime that I couldn't outwit.

Then we agree, money congress appropriates to the executive is limited to how Congress limited its spending.

I agree if its vague the President has more power with how to spend it. The unitary executive theory (and the Felon) argue differently. Congress controls the spending of the Executive and thus has great power over the Executive Branch.

but to be clear you were fully supportive of Biden ignoring a court decision? As long as it is SCOTUS?

And if you claim that to be the case, please provide proof of prior posts at the time of you condemning the Biden administration

The Court does not operate in that way, you watch too much Law and Order.
 
The argument has been the imperial presidency like Nixon, the crook believed in. He said "If the president does it, it's legal" Trump is in that school. They wanted to toss out the checks and balances of the Constitution and the framers to seize more power. Trumpys people are glad when he oversteps again and again. They want a president who does not respect the law.
