You are correct. We have "allowed" it because congress obviously won't impeach him, which only leaves us with waiting for the next election or Civil War II, and the second option isn't worth it.APynckel wrote:Why have we allowed someone to change legislation at his whim w/o the support of congress?

Edit: I forgot a 3rd option (really the 2nd option if waiting for the next election doesn't cut it): Secession. And not just grumblings and a opinion article or two... A proper secession, complete with formal letters to the POTUS from states' leadership, a withdrawing of representatives from DC, and kicking out federal agents.
