Beryl Howell: “An American President is not a king.”

His attempt to do so here is blatantly illegal, and his constitutional arguments to excuse this illegal act are contrary to Supreme Court precedent and over a century of practice.

the President seems intent on pushing the bounds of his office and exercising his power in a manner violative of clear statutory law.

A President who touts an image of himself as a 'king' or a 'dictator,' perhaps as his vision of effective leadership, fundamentally misapprehends the role under Article II of the U.S. Constitution.

The President does not have the authority to terminate members of the National Labor Relations Board at will.
