The Onion: Donald Trump Claims He Can Overrule Constitution With Executive Order Because Of Little-Known ‘No One Will Stop Me’ Loophole

"Saying his latest executive order was legal due to an “underutilized but totally feasible workaround,” President Trump claimed Tuesday that he could overrule the U.S. Constitution by means of the relatively obscure “no one will stop me” loophole. “My critics say a constitutional amendment or at least an act of Congress is necessary to end birthright citizenship, but what they don’t realize is that a seldom-evoked administrative guideline ensures I can do whatever I want, whenever I want, because zero people will stand in my way,” said Trump, adding that the largely unheard-of clause allows him to circumvent normal legal proceedings because it’s not like anyone in any branch of government remains effective enough to prevent him from doing so. “Though few modern presidents have made use of it, this loophole has always given the nation’s chief executive unilateral power over the Constitution. Its provisions dictate that the president can sidestep any checks and balances on his power once he has abused his authority so many times that no one can keep track anymore.” Trump added that while his opponents may try to challenge his executive order in court, the loophole also states that by then he will have achieved his immediate political aims."

Just for the record: The New Democrat doesn't actually take The Onion seriously as a news organization. And some might say that The Onion is just as accurate as Fox News or Newsmax, perhaps even more accurate than One America News. And there might be some truth to that. But being more accurate than FNC, Newsmax, and OWN, even all combined, is like like serving the best food in the Federal penal system. Or having the fastest turtle in a turtle race. Owning the only Ford Pinto that didn't blow up when you opened the trunk, or changed the rear license plate. Is any of those things even worth mentioning? 

But for anyone who is offended by the fact that TND doesn't automatically take The Onion seriously as a news organization... try drinking something besides alcohol. Your kidneys and what's left of your brain will thank you. Or whatever you are doing to escape from reality. 

But I have to hand it to The Onion when they get something that's almost completely right. The story that I guess they reposted on their Facebook page, is originally from 2018. So go up 6 years and some change and what is President Donald Trump trying to do now? He thinks he can either amend or just eliminate a constitutional amendment, simply with his pen. But according To The Onion: 

"Donald Trump Claims He Can Overrule Constitution With Executive Order Because Of Little-Known ‘No One Will Stop Me’ Loophole".  

Think about that, that's not far off on The Onion's part. President Trump probably believes he's unstoppable now. He's a lameduck President, he doesn't have to worry about what the voters think anymore. The U.S. Supreme Court just essentially gave absolute presidential immunity when it comes to any criminal acts he may have created while he was President the 1st time, along with the voters making him President again. He's probably literally in The White House right now thinking there's no one who can stop him. I think he's in for a very rude awakening on that, but we will see.

But if I wanted to be an American dictator and I never wanted to face accountability from anyone, about anything, ever again, and I have the power that the U.S. Supreme Court and the voters just gave me, why not try to write out constitutional amendments that I don't like unilaterally? And not just the 14 Amendment Why not write out 22nd Amendment through executive order as well, so I would never even have to run for President again and just stay in office the rest of my life?
