In that regard. he was even overruled by two members he appointed to the Supreme Court in that 9to0 decision that says when the Constitution says only Congress can decide when a House is in session. the President cant say on some basis that they arent in session and proceed to make recess appointments. In other words. what the judges said is that what the Constitution says is what it says. So he took unconstitutional action in making those appointments. Lastly. he took the drastic step of changing immigration laws on the books without the authority or approval from Congress. When the President acts in contravention to the law. he erodes the rule of law. He sets an example for future Presidents who will expand on his precedent and actions on other laws and policies they dont agree with.
