If a judge ordered Trump to resign, would that be the law?

Gone are the days when we were ruled by nine unelected black robes. That is old-fashioned. The Millennial version of post-constitutionalism is that a liberal group can get any of the 670 district judges in one of the 94 district courts to rule on any abstract public policy – be it fiscal, social, cultural, national security, border – and that is regarded by the political class as “law.” That includes even when Obama himself violated the law and invented a policy that never existed since George Washington. Trump is now compelled to allow Obama’s policies to rule as a third term. Who needs a constitutional amendment to expand the terms of Democrat presidencies when you have the courts?

The only way it would be if by law would be if it follows impeachment and conviction by the Senate where that was the prescribed punishment (and the judge was just reinforcing it) or if it falls under the 25th Amendment which we've never faced so we don't know how that could play out but would be based on the decision of the VP and th majority of the cabinet, not a judge (unless he was reinforcing the order).

He gives no solution to the problem though.
