Under the constitution is he right or wrong?

He is wrong. Jarod offers the best verbiage as to why.

What do you make of this declaration?

Wrong. The Atty General is the chief law enforcement officer. Trump has simply thrown his weight into the justice department because he wants that branch under his control too. Trump selects the AG but the Senate has to approve him. The president has never tried to do what Trump is doing. It seems that even a complete and utter Trump suckup like Barr may be being pushed too far....I don't believe it. I think he is trying to downplay what is happening. We have a king.

why have judges or courts


just have the president decide it all


that is what trump is after

He can pardon a decision made by the courts.

[Frank Apisa]

The president is the head of the executive branch which is in charge of law enforcement, but traditionally the president appoints the chief law enforcement officer in the attorney general and due to a desire to avoid conflicts of interests takes a hands off approach.

This is the correct answer to the question.

No he isn't the Att General is.

Which branch of government does the DOJ fall under? You get three guesses, and the first two don't count.

Wait, you think judges and courts are law enforcement? HAHAHAHA! What a fucking retard.

[FastLane]

No he isn't the Att General is.

The Constitution mandates that the President executes and enforces the laws of the land . And the President is the AG's boss. So he is the Chief Executive officer. The buck stops on the President's desk.

the constitution doesn't say what you claimed ass hat

How the fuck would you know? You've obviously never read it.

Checks and balances with Congress and the SC

None of that justifies Barr acting as Trump 's lawyer
