    The constitution is just a bunch of laws. How can an official act by a POTUS possibly be bound by it?

    Honestly, how can any court review any law signed by a POTUS? Isn’t signing legislature an official act?

      Executive actions and orders are not laws.

      And any law is subject to the constitution. If I write a law that says “all Japanese people must be sent to internment camps,” a court should intervene and say “no, that’s not legal.”
