Trump and the Return to Constitutional Government American Thinker, Oct 20, 2017, Gregory Winkeleer
President Donald Trump is doing something that has not been seen in the last eight years. He is devolving -- returning -- power from the Executive Branch (the Office of the President), primarily to the Legislative Branch (the Congress). We are seeing this in three recent developments.
First, he announced an Executive Order cancelling the program created by former President Obama commonly known as DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals). .... So by cancelling Obama’s executive order and ending the DACA program, Trump is sending this issue back where it belongs -- to the Congress -- to be addressed with legislation.
Next Trump announced that he will decertify the Iran Nuclear Deal created by President Obama. Notice the word “Deal.” This is not a treaty. Trivial distinction, you say? Au contraire, this is a very important distinction. .... While Mr. Obama was president, he certified the deal every time. And, 90 days ago, Trump reluctantly certified the deal again. But at the next 90-day mark – Oct. 13, after due consideration, President Trump refused to certify, effectively giving Congress a 60-day window to reimpose Iran sanctions suspended by the deal, or kill the Iran deal if they so choose. Again, Mr. Trump is sending this issue back where it belongs -- to the Congress -- to be addressed.
Finally, Trump has ended ObamaCare subsidies being paid to Insurance companies. .... And CSR payments continued -- until President Trump chose to end them and insisted that Congress decide this issue.
