"And will, to the best of my ability"

You like it because it floats an idea that isn't specific. It still comes down to whether the president's actions are legitimate.

It makes no difference whether I like it or not. The fundamental question is whether a federal judge can over-rule the President's authority executing his duties in the Executive Branch of the government, and it's a thorny issue. If a federal judge orders DOD not to send bombs to Israel, is that constitutional? Does a federal judge have that constitutional authority? If a federal judge orders FEMA not to aid the LA wildfire victims, is that constitutional? If a federal judge orders the Coast Guard not to interfere with drug smugglers, is that constitutional? Are federal judges all-powerful gods who have complete control over all aspects of our federal government?

Can a federal judge over-rule anything - or everything - that the President does? We have hundreds of federal judges. Do each of them have the authority to stop or start whatever the State Dept does, and the Dept of Energy, and the Dept of Defense?

Of course not. Wtf are talking about? Who's saying they are? The examples you're giving are ridiculous. You're creating a straw man.

Does executive power allow the president to ignore the constitution? Does it allow the president to dismantle or defund agencies authorized by congress?

Tell me what rulings the federal judges have made so far regarding trumps actions that exceed their authority.

The WH has already started criticizing the judiciary........along with the co-president. Just the beginning. Before long rubes like you will be fine with trump ignoring court decisions. They're already reeling you in.

The reality is Repubs are going for headlines and it's working. But what they actually need to do is execute and authorize a balanced budget ON TIME. They can do all their defunding and RIFing through the process and then there really won't be any legal challenges. This EO war stuff can be undone by the next person.

It is your comments that are ridiculous. What has Trump done that "ignores the constitution."? And of course Trump's executive power allows him to defund agencies authorized by Congress. An authorization from Congress is just that, the authority and funding to do something. It is not a mandate to spend. Do you believe that Trump does not have the authority to stop the USAID from paying $47,000 for a "transgender opera" in Colombia?

Regarding what rulings federal judges have made that exceed their authority, there's the one that barred the federal government from offering buyouts to employees. That nonsense has already been reversed.

A federal judge blocked Trump's plan to pause federal funding while his administration reviewed various programs. This is another example of "forced spending."

A federal judge issued a preliminary junction blocking Trump's envoy from accessing Treasury Dept records. The President doesn't have access to Treasury Dept records? The bureaucrats at the Treasury can just keep their financial records to themselves?
