Summary
The Democratic National Committee and two other party committees have sued Trump over Executive Order 14215, which claims authority to seize control of the Federal Elections Commission.
The lawsuit argues this violates federal law and threatens free elections.
The order also claims power over other agencies including the SEC, FTC, and NLRB.
Democrats contend this executive overreach contradicts constitutional principles and a century of Supreme Court precedent upholding Congress’s authority to insulate certain agencies from presidential control.
Because the Supreme Court of The United States of America said as much. The courts basically signed all their real power away in Trump v. America. What I’m sure will eventually be called the Trump Doctrine if the president does it, than it is not illegal. Trump can legally take control over the election process because he’s taking it as the president. So regardless of any other law whatever he does it legal.
While trump v America had the wrong ruling, the conclusion your sharing isn’t correct.
The ruling shielded the president from personal liability for actions taken as president. It didn’t touch the offices ability to be sued or be legally restrained.
If trump, in his capacity as president, violates the law “the president” can be sued and forced to stop, but not trump personally. You can’t send him to jail for improperly claiming authority over the FEC, but you can prevent the office of the president from doing so.
