Top Intel Dem to Trump: Justice Dept belongs to the American people, not you

3. Donald Trump needs to read the Constitution.

The purpose and content of the Constitution is limitation on and definition of the powers of each branch of government including the executive branch that he leads.

The office of the president is very limited in its authority. Trump seems to think that as president, he has the authority of the owner of a privately held company. He doesn't. He doesn't even have as much authority as the CEO of a publicly held company. The Constitution says that he can be impeached. The Constitution gives Congress most of the authority.

Trump may not really like the limitations that the Constitution places on him, but they are the law, so he had better deal with them.

We are a nation ruled by laws, not by personalities or great leaders. Trump needs to respect the limitations of his position. Every president has to do that. It hasn't been a problem before, not in my lifetime, and I was born when FDR was president.
