#Trump lawyers have *determined* [made up from whole cloth] that an 18th-cent wartime #law Trump invoked to deport *suspected* [presumed] members of a Venezuelan gang allows federal agents to enter homes WITHOUT A WARRANT….
The disclosure reflects the Trump admin’s aggressive view of #PresidentialPower, including setting aside a key provision of the #FourthAmendment that requires a #CourtOrder to search someone’s home.
#JoshHawley introduces #Senate bill to limit #power of #FederalJudges in wake of #DJT insolence over checks and balances from #judiciary branch as #WhiteHouse steps up attacks on judges who place limits on #PresidentialPower. House #GOP are already pursuing #impeachment against more than a half-dozen federal district court judges who made rulings against #Drumpf.

A behind-the-scenes legal effort to force #Congress to call a convention to amend the #Constitution could end up helping #Trump …expand #PresidentialPower.
While the convention effort is focused on the national debt, #legal experts say it could open the door to other changes, such as limiting who can be a US citizen, allowing POTUS to overrule Congress’ spending decisions or even making it legal for Trump to run for a 3rd term.

The tradition of independent agencies goes back to the 1880s.
The country needs some agencies to be immune from Presidential (and political) pressure.
Constitutionally the President's power is not absolute.
"Why independent agencies were created to be independent"

“The Catholic Church always works to uphold the common good of all and promote the dignity of the human person, especially the most vulnerable among us,” said Archbishop Timothy Broglio, president of the USCCB. “That includes the unborn, the poor, the stranger, the elderly and infirm, & migrants.” The funding suspension prevents the church from doing so, he said.

#Trump suggests no laws violated if he ‘saves’ country
“He who saves his Country does not violate any Law,” Trump posted Saturday
The phrase is attributed to #NapoleonBonaparte, who declared himself French #emperor in the early 1800s.
Trump’s post drew quick criticism from Democrats, who argued it was another instance of the president likening his executive authority to #authoritarianism.

#Trump signed a trio of #ExecutiveOrders on #education Wednesday seeking to control how schools teach about #race & #gender, direct more tax dollars to #PrivateSchools, & #deport pro-#Palestinian #protesters.
The flurry of action…tests the limits of #PresidentialPower. In each case, Trump is pushing to use the levers of government — sometimes in unprecedented ways — to force American #school districts, #colleges & #students to align w/his point of view.

#OMB is a typically sedate office that builds the president’s #budget & reviews #regulations. But w/ #Vought at the helm, OMB was at the center of showdowns between #Trump & #Congress over federal spending & the #legal bounds of #PresidentialPower.
After lawmakers refused to give Trump more money for his southern US #BorderWall, the budget office siphoned billions from the #Pentagon & #Treasury Dept budgets to pay for it.
#Biden announced a plan to reform the Supreme Court, saying that he looked forward to working with #Congress to prevent the abuse of #presidentialpower and "restore faith" in the nation's highest court. #PresidentImmunity
