Emergency Powers of the president is the topic, fULE! He isn't being a dictator when he acts unilaterally in a circumstance like that.Don't get hung up on semantics. As I said in the op, the president has wide latitude in dealing with a national emergency. If an Executive Order or just a shout out over twitter is necessary to fulfill that duty he has the authority to act to defend the nation without having to consult Congress. Congress may have to validate the president's initiative in retrospect but he won't likely be impeached for trying to protect national interests. I gave you the WW2 example of that with the internment of American citizens who happened to be of Japanese heritage. You dodged that and brought utter ignorance to the table.Any order given by the Chief Executive is technically an executive order, peanut. And art 2 of the Constitution does not specifically delineate what the President's Emergency Powers Are.No, the President does not have the right to suspend the US Constitution; nobody does.
And no, Ears cannot use an executive order to make Trump take any kind of exam. That's not what executive orders are for.
You're used to Dumbo acting like a king, but bad news for you, he is not. What you are asking is for DumBama to make the biggest fool out of himself in American history, and I don't think he's willing to do that just for you.
He can act unilaterally to address what HE alone perceives as a threat to our nation. The limits of the presidents authority in an tie of Crisis has been controversial but remains unclear.
Since you didn't seem to be aware of that, you can thank me by doing one thing:
STFU!
So clueless.
No, he cannot enact an executive order based on a personal opinion and not fact. Electing somebody you don't like is not an Emergency of any kind. The people elected a President and there is nothing in the world that DumBama can do about it.
Even if he could set that precedent, then what would happen once a Democrat is elected President? Does the OPINION of the sitting Republican President allow him to make an executive order of a phycological evaluation because he is a political foe?
But keep chasing that dream. We all have dreams you know. Yours are just a little bit out there than the rest of us.
What you're talking about is a dictatorship which we don't have in this country. No, a President (at least an American one) does not have such authority. Butt hurt doesn't go quite that far.
The only national emergency we have is you lost and can't take it. Sorry, but that's how the game is played. I'm sure you'll be suicidal before February. You can avoid all this destruction and disaster by moving to Canada and taking some of your ilk with you. We will chip in and help pay for the moving expenses if necessary.
In the meantime, Google the US Constitution and learn what the requirements are of being a President in this country. And no, it does not include a psychological exam ordered by the sitting President.
Nad get this, if 1Trump is found to have made an unholy alliance with the enemy and has compromised his loyalty to this country, Obama would be remiss by not stepping forward on the advise of the NSA to arrest Donald Trump for sedition. A plea of insanity might save him from being imprisoned but he wouldn't be president.
Trump can make friends or enemies with whoever he likes. There is no law against it. He is a United States citizen and a businessman. He currently has no power to do anything like hop in bed with Castro.
