He also doesn’t have the authority to order his goon squad to murder people in the streets but still fucking happens.
Kakistocracy_0 on
oh look, he’s running the Putin Playbook like everyone warned..
Cyanopicacooki on
He’s no authority to do half the things he does, but no-one can stop him.
I wish the fuck lawyers would stop making fatuous comments like this, and do something substantive. And no, I haven’t a fucking clue what, but I’m not a legal expert. They are.

U.S.A. unite and get rid off the dictator before it is to late….

Yeah guys, âThe Lawâ will stop him!
âHe canât do that.â -every day since 2016
LeeksAbhorLiminality on
Yeah.. that’s how the constitution works on a fundamental level. JFC the fact that this is even being dignified with counter arguments is terrifying. Fuck the GOP
OneTwoFar_ on
Ok. The american legal system is kind of a joke when it comes to prosecuting or stopping anyone above their Consumer-class, though; and Trump doesn’t seem like he’s going to read their constitution anytime soon either

No shit but it wont stop tangerine hitler from trying

He doesnât care if he has authority. He just does whatever the hell he wants constitution be damned.

Supreme Court: “Hold my beer.”
Quitcha_Bitchin on
Of course he doesn’t. It’s just another smoke screen.
Something he can push now and then later when his side looses abysmally he can say “look I was right again!!”
He has a child’s mind and the wallet the size of a small nation.
Everything about him screams I am six years old and perfect in every way!

Trump has no authority to do 80% of the shit he is doing. No one has the balls to stop him.

“Look, ICE can’t just shoot people to dead in broad daylight for no reason”
*ICE shoots 2 people in broad daylight with no investigation and the shooters are still walking free*
“Ah, well, anyway…”

He doesnât have the authority to levy tariffs either, but no oneâs got the spine to stop him.

“Cool. So I’m gonna do it anyway. No one will stop me. Oh look I won by 88% of the vote. Who could have predicted this? I am now dictator for life. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

He also, according to the 14th amendment, has no authority whatsoever.

Trump has no authority for a majority of the bullshit heâs done

Yeah he doesn’t have authority to do half the shit he’s done but he we are

He doesnât have the authority to do a lot of things he does. This article doesnât bring me any comfort.
D13_Phantom on
He also wasn’t allowed to run due to the constitution not allowing people who participated or aided an insurrection, he’s not allowed to unilaterally perform acts of war or invade other sovereign countries, he’s not allowed to keep classified documents, hes not allowed to tear down a section of the white house, he and his admin are not allowed to withhold the epsiteon files, he’s not allowed to rape/potentially kill people and kids…and yet here we are

“Lawyers say its illegal, judges say he can’t” and then he does it anyway. Leash this fucker.
drinkslinger1974 on
Add this one to the list of stuff he has no authority to do.

In 2026, there is a unfortunately a big difference between “Trump has no authority” and “Trump can’t”
tunabomber on
This has been my greatest heartbreak. Do I despise Trump and his cronies? Very much so. But what really gets me is that the many safeguards that I was always taught were in place to keep something like this from happening were all a mirage.

Since when has that stopped him from doing anything?

He can’t enact taxes either. How’s that gone.

republican states are going to let Trump do what he wants

Trump has no authority to do MOST of the things he is doing.
WHO IS GOING TO STOP HIM? What are we DOING about this?
drunk-snowmen on
He also had no case in the 2020 election but we got Jan 6. Him even talking about this should be seen as a threat that needs attention
questron64 on
That hasn’t stopped him before.
urbanlife78 on
But will he face consequences when he does it?
DoctorSchwifty on
Wow how much evidence does one need to impeach? His meddling in the 2020 election results are now even more credible.

Give it a week. Once the right wing media machine does its thing, nationalising the election will be the patriotic thing to do.
AcrobaticWrangler330 on
So tired of the way these things get reported on. Trump says something clearly illegal or unconstitutional: “Trump to do X,” like it’s a fait accompli, like he has the power to. Anyone who points out that it is illegal “Lawyers say it’s unconstitutional.” NO, the constitution says it is unconstitutional! It’s not a matter for debate; it’s literally spelled out word for word. This kind of headline writing erodes truth and makes it seem like these are issues that just have differing viewpoints to argue, like the tax rate on fish imports or something.
LoFi_Funk on
Most of what heâs done he did with no legal authority. If heâs never held accountable, legality becomes trivial.
edgarecayce on
Unfortunately he just does whatever he wants and all three branches of the federal government have abdicated all responsibility. It no longer matters to him or his cronies whether there is even a patina of legality in what they do.
MiloGoesToTheFatFarm on
He has no authority to do most of the stuff in his executive orders but publications keep publishing it like itâs real for some reason!

The 14th Amendment is not optional.

He has not the authroity â he won’t
This regime doesn’t care what is legally allowed. They force changes and deal with litigation after.
glk3278 on
Are you kidding me with this headline? No shit. That’s like saying “Trump has no authority to pressure state election officials into declaring him the winner”. But here we are…
No_Instruction_1236 on
As a lawyer myself, I think it’s adorable that lawyers believe that something so flimsy as “authority” can stop Trump from doing anything he wants.
The guardrails that are supposed to stop his behavior are gone. The people who are supposed to stop him and enforce the rule of law refuse to act.
There won’t be elections this fall. One way or another, there won’t be elections in the US.
