LEGITIMATE POWER — Precisely! — NO KINGS

Judges are not charged to limit the executive’s LEGITIMATE power — Sure, that’s the point.

And ALL the emphasis is on the word “legitimate.”

The role of Congress is to pass laws that comport with the Constitution.

The courts’ job is to interpret laws per the Constitution, and to direct that laws passed by Congress be applied and fulfilled according to the Constitution, and if it is unconstitutional, a law or policy must be rescinded. That determination is made by the courts, with rulings and appeals of rulings, through to the Supreme Court.

The President’s job is NOT to interpret the law, but to administer it in such manner as the President directs, faithfully executed UNDER THE CONSTITUTION.

Domestic policy is closely governed by laws passed by our Congress, but the President has GREAT latitude in determining foreign policy under our Constitution. Treaties require Congressional ratification, but much of foreign policy is determined by Presidential prerogatives.

If a President questions a court’s ruling, the LEGITIMATE course of action is to appeal and make a good case for the objection.

The LEGITIMATE course of action, if the President holds a policy preference, is to work to apply that preference according to law, OR to appeal to Congress to enact that preference into law, and then faithfully execute the policy according to the Constitution.

And the LEGITIMATE course moving forward is to recognize the COURT as the interpreter of law, up to and residing finally in the Supreme Court {consider its name}

This is what I learned as a citizen of the United States of America, starting in high school civics classes and carrying through participation in the society of our country for all my 78 years …

LEGITIMATE authority is not arbitrary, nor capricious, NOR vested in the President.

Our Constitution permits NO KINGS.
