how does the ag, an attorney and unelected, authorize anything the president is doing. Surely, he is an advisor as is the proper role of any legal council. It’s bad enough attorneys run the legislators but let’s not make the over the elected boss.
AG is the gate keeper for the Federal Register.
EOs aren’t “active” until placed into the FedReg.
The President’s orders are passed down the chain of command starting with the AG as he is the next top law enforcement officer in the chain.
If there is no lawsuit or congressional action blocking a presidential order, the AG authorizes the order to be observed and carried out throughout the land, through the federal government.
As soon as Congress failed to carry enough votes to override, AG Barr immediately authorized the President’s order to be carried out.
This means ...
THE WALL IS GOING UP!
