Michael Cloud actually said...

Public opinion flows through the Representatives of Congress, and then we tell you what the public are thinking, and then you go and do it.

You may be trying to skew authority or find authorities in law somewhere to do it, but you do not have clear authority.

My point is, is it didn't pass. It wasn't taken up in the Senate.

And, of course, the job of the Executive Branch is to execute the laws, not create the laws.
