    An extreme hypo reveals how obvious this is: If Congress enacted a law to revive slavery, the president would not have a duty to enforce it.https://twitter.com/justinamash/status/834899960852267008 …

        That's left for the courts to decide. A Congress that would bring back slavery would impeach him. How about then apples!

        so the President just enforces the laws he thinks are constitutional and ignores the rest? Can you not see the problem w/ that?

        It's a check on legislative branch. It's exactly why Legislative can remove POTUS if he didn't enforce.

        the check on Congress is Judiciary overturning unconstitutional laws. Not POTUS delegating that power to himself.

        It's both. Each branch has multiple checks. Same reason POTUS appoints justice that congress can impeach.

        Most of this discussion is far more nuanced. Who decides? If Congress passes law, they must believe it constitutional, right?

        basically that just because congress passes a law, doesn't automatically mean it's constitutional right?

        Ignoring 13 Am. for the moment, if Congress abolished slavery, the president is under no Constitutional duty to enforce it?

        your anti-trump is showing.... its a horrible precedent to allow the Pres to chose what laws to enforce and you know it.

        @WineAndLibertCongress can't enact a law without the president's signature. Ask your congressman if you don't know that.
