America has a Constitution that tells us how federal laws are to be enacted. When a problem arises, hearings are held, a solution is crafted following deliberations, new provisions are debated and ratified by Congress, then sent to the president for signature. The Constitution forbids the president from changing laws on his own. His job as chief of the executive branch is to “execute” laws that Congress passes; he cannot ignore or suspend such laws, and he cannot create his own. No president can unilaterally rewrite congressional laws, such as Barack Obama did when suspending the Affordable Care Act and changing its mandates. It’s always been this way because the Founders designed the legislative branch to be closest to the people, to enact laws, with the president in charge of faithfully enforcing them.
