    I guess there are no checks and balances that apply?

      Technically, this is the executive branch working within itself.

      Now, the check on executive stupidity to this extreme is impeachment, but that’s never gonna happen with the Republican party in charge of both houses of Congress.

      Sorry, no. We’d need 60 votes in the Senate and a majority on the SCOTUS to stop this.

        Sorry, no, he meant there are no checks -as in bank checks- because all the balances -as in account balances- are now zero after all the money has now disappeared.

        So, literally, no checks and balances.

        Why do we need both congress and the judiciary? Can’t congress kick him out all by themselves?

          SCOTUS declares the impeachment was done wrong for some magical reason. Trump refuses to recognize it. And cue the pre-documentary Civil War that released recently.
