Article II of the U.S. Constitution grants the president his executive powers. Those powers state that he is the commander in chief, has pardon powers, treaty powers and the ability to fill vacancies and grant commissions. No where does it say he can defund organizations he does not like, insist higher education abide by his “agenda,” deconstruct the history of the U.S. and its institutions, eliminate or decimate safety net agencies that insure American Citizens have clean air to breathe, safe food to eat, clean water to drink, high standards of education and access to scientific based health care. These powers do not include threats to the media, nor do they include rounding up immigrants and depriving them of due process, or threatening to deport American citizens.
