    He very specifically isn’t both…he can use Executive orders and Veto laws, but he President can’t make a law without Congress. Correction: SHOULDN’T … it’s a free-for-all with the new King-Maker ruling from SCOTUS.

      Immunity from prosecution doesn’t mean he can pass laws.

      Theoretically he could murder members of the other branches of government until the remaining ones did what he wanted, but it doesn’t let him pass new laws or unilaterally change the constitution.

        If I had the Army he has, I could unilaterally change whatever I want…

          The army wouldn’t go along with it. Even in countries with dictators, they need to purge the army before they try anything too radical. And, often, the generals retain a lot of power.
