    No, the president does not have a constitutional duty to faithfully execute unconstitutional laws. https://twitter.com/seanmdav/status/834898827618430976 …

        @GaltsGirl @seanmdav Legal scholars might disagree. It's POTUS' duty to execute the laws. SCOTUS determines constitutionality.

        Read the enlisted oath, compare it to the officer oath, and notice what's different.

        once passed, aren't laws presumed to be constitutional (until ruled otherwise by the courts)?
