Vice-president JD Vance said on Sunday that “judges are not authorized to control the legitimate power of the executive”, offering a warning to the federal judicial power in the face of court decisions which have, for the moment, aspects Hoped for President Trump’s agenda.
The declaration, published on social networks, came while federal judges temporarily prohibited a series of Trump administration actions to take effect. They include the end of the citizenship of the right of birth; Give associates with the Elon Musk government’s washing effort effort to a sensitive cash department system; Transfer transgender prisoners to male prisons; And place thousands of American agencies for international development employees on leave.
Mr. Vance, a graduate of the Yale Law Faculty of Law in 2013, has repeatedly argued in recent years that presidents like Mr. Trump can and should ignore the judicial orders which, according to them, affect their legitimate executive powers. Although his post did not go so far, he has taken greater importance since he is now vice-president.
The position can also offer a window on the administration’s reflection towards the orders against it while Mr. Trump has openly violated many statutes, such as limits of constraint and effectively dismantle the USAID and to fold it in the department state. This also raised the question of whether the administration would stop respecting the decisions if it deemed it illegitimately hindering its program.
The post of Mr. Vance has not mentioned any specific decision. But many allies of Mr. Trump denounced a prescription early on Saturday, prohibiting Trump the appointments and the partners of the initiative of the so-called Department of Effectiveness of Mr. Musk, to have accessed the ‘Access to the payment system of the Treasury Department.
Addressing journalists in the Air Force One on Sunday as he went to New Orleans for the Super Bowl, Mr. Trump said that the judge had submerged, calling the Treasury to govern a “shame” . But he seemed to consider calls, saying that the judicial affair “still had a long way to go”.
