People are debating the merits here, and losing the big picture.

Congress makes laws. The executive implements them.

It could be a fantastic idea. But then make it a law. Give the president the power to do something like this.

Debating the merits without focusing on that first legitimizes this crazy psuedo law making Trump engages in and will enable him to be more arbitrary in other areas.

Pen and a phone. This is not a phenomenon unique to Trump.
