EXCERPT:
NAPOLITANO: “When Donald Trump imposes a sales tax on items from China, when he builds a wall at the Mexico-Texas border using funds that the Congress denied him, but he takes the funds anyway, he is merely using the power that Congress has given to him and former presidents in violation of the Constitution. When that happens Congress and throws up its hands and says let's the -- let the president do it, that's dangerous to our liberty. Because the beauty of our liberty is the division, the separation of powers. Congress writes the laws, the president enforces them, the courts interpret them. But when Congress lets presidents write their own laws then he's not a president he's a prince.”
