If a president can refuse to enforce a federal law against a class of 800,000 to 1.76 million, what discernible limits are there to prosecutorial discretion? Can a president decline to enforce federal laws barring that class from voting in federal elections? Can a president decline to enforce the deportation statute against all illegal immigrants because of a belief in an "open borders" policy? Can a president who wants tax cuts that a recalcitrant Congress will not enact decline to enforce the income tax laws? Can a president effectively repeal the environmental laws by refusing to sue polluters, or workplace and labor laws by refusing to fine violators?

We all know the answer to your questions.

It used to be called malfeasance, and it was prosecutable. Cops used to get fired for it routinely.

The President is not a King. And even the English Kings were subject to the laws.

It's October. What's to stop this POS in the WH to grant voting rights to these people? It wouldn't surprise me one bit. How would they stop him? Who would stop them from voting?

Look out, America!
