Where in the Constitution does it say that the president can write laws? From Eric Peters at ericpetersautos.com:
Under the terms and conditions set forth in the Constitution – ostensibly the document that is the literal “letter of the law” – the president is supposed to be an administrator. The person whose job it is to – as the Constitution puts it – see that the laws are faithfully executed.
This is rather different than decreeing them – as for example via what are styled “executive orders.”
The Constitution says Congress shall write the laws, the idea being that congressmen are elected and there are a lot of them, rather than just one president. This to diffuse legal authority among many and also to hold it accountable to the many. The president is of course also elected, but in a manner that effectively renders each vote meaningless as one out of millions has the same effect as a drop of water on the depth of the ocean.
Senators – the other half of Congress – were once elected by the legislatures of the various states, with the idea being that this would counterbalance the democracy the men who wrote the Constitution dreaded and for that reason sought to check.
But the point – as regards this essay – is that it is Congress that was given authority under the Constitution to write the laws. Not the president.
And yet he does.
The worthless brothel known as congress got deleted by the “historic” pen and phone.
