    Exactly why I qualified my statement with “enforce the law”.

    Never said they make the law.

    Its pathetic that people are even commenting on very basic things regarding the constitution here.

    Although the text of the take care clause “seemingly invests the office with broad enforcement authority,” it also limits the executive’s power. As the Constitution Annotated notes, the clause “underscores that the executive is under a duty to execute the laws of Congress faithfully and not disregard them.”

    The executive is not there to enforce anything except what Congress has already passed. You can’t make shit up and decide that up is down and yellow is green at your leisure.

      One more time

      The judicial interprets, not “enforces”.

      The executive doing their job wrong doesn’t change this.
