950+ law professors label Trump s actions a constitutional crisis | The College Fix
More than 950 U.S. law professors and teachers signed a letter published Wednesday deeming some of President Donald Trump s recent executive orders a constitutional crisis.
The President has signed a number of executive orders that are beyond his constitutional or statutory authority, the letter states.
The scholars criticize the president for attempting to alter citizenship status, block funds Congress has already approved, and attach new, politically-motivated rules to government benefits.
Trump has no authority to dismantle agencies or departments established by Congress, nor can he hand over government operations to private individuals free from legal oversight, the letter states.
We believe we are in a constitutional crisis, it states.
I don’t see it this way. But I’m months away from being a former law professor.
