Lmao why do people think quoting laws and statutes will do anything. It's like pointing to a school code of conduct while a bully has your head in a toilet.

It doesn't matter what the laws say. No one is going to enforce them against this president or his admins and if they tried no police or military force would enact their orders. Trump is above the law. It's gameover.
