You don't need to be an expert. The American constitution is a very reasonably simple, clear and an easily accessible document. As are the rules of change.

I dont believe that people are pouring in with the ban lifted as they still need visas but no doubt his supporters will take it as being a fact. Period.
Someone really needs to take away his Twitter account. Do any other heads of state carry on like this?

Why take it away ? It puts most folks view of him beyond doubt.
They are just giving him rope to hang himself with.
Once he declares war on Iran via twitter they'll 25th ammend him, and declare him not mentally fit enough to carry on in office.
Why take away the pen and not the holder?

51? Which is the 51st? Please tell me that Theresa hasn't done something she shouldn't.
I wonder if he'll try and use the "locker room banter" argument.

That was the part of the referendum which wasn't widely publicised.

Perhaps while the whining lefties on here are looking for the 51st state,they could also try and find a President who hasn't used Executive decrees since George Washington.Even your hero wasn't averse to using them and doesn't seem that keen on immigration!

not really, made a fair point. everyone following this knows executive orders are common (dozens a year issued). the reference to Obama is being misapplied, not only a different detail but didn't run foul of existing law. Trumps does, which is why judges have imposed injunction on it.

It was close to happening here when the high court said we do have the rule of parliament over art 50, many Tory MP's on the right were happy to try and ride rough shed over the rule of law to please the Daily Mail
Mob rule to the peasants seem to be the way some would like it, the law is only there when you want it or when you need it.

The point being made, and that was missed, is that Obama also used Executive Orders. Not about Obama's view on immigrants.

And then Parliament democratically voted to expedite Brexit according to the will of the electorate as expressed by the referendum, even though a majority didn't agree with leaving the EU.
If the same principles of democracy apply in the States, then the appropriate number of Senators and Congressmen would vote to change the law so that Trump's policy can become law. Can't see that happening somehow!

Precisely. It's a false equivalence. Executive orders themselves are not the problem - and I'm not sure anyone is saying they are.
