    It’s because the President is letting him do it. In many cases, he is exceeding what the President has the lawful authority to let him do, but Congress is also letting him do it.

    It’s bad enough that Congress is ceding its power to the Presidency, but even worse that they are both enabling this asshat.

      No, it’s because the President, both houses of Congress, and the Supreme Court are allowing him to do it. It really takes all four to allow this to happen. If any of them were doing the job their supposed to be doing, this wouldn’t be possible.
