Trump’s ‘Catch-Me-If-You-Can’ Approach to the Law

Wait 5 sec.

“A plain reading of the law about presidents on coins says the face of a living president should not be on currency. And yet President Donald Trump’s is, after his Treasury Department exploited a different law related to commemorative coins,” CNN reports.“The law says a president must not commit the U.S. military into hostilities for longer than 60 days without congressional approval. The U.S. has been in a conflict with Iran for more than six months, although the administration says it has taken time-outs in the war. Previous presidents from both parties have danced around this requirement, but nothing on the level of Trump’s war on Iran.”“Chief Justice John Roberts called it ‘likely unlawful’ for Trump to tear down part of the White House and build something else. And yet construction is happening around the clock to get that White House ballroom done for Trump to enjoy.”
