His lack of enforcement violates the Constitution, specifically Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution which requires the President to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.”
This clause, known as the Take Care Clause, requires the President to enforce all constitutionally valid Acts of Congress, regardless of his own Administration’s view of their wisdom or policy. The clause imposes a duty on the President; it does not confer a discretionary power. The Take Care Clause is a limit on the Vesting Clause’s grant to the President of “the executive power.”
BTW - The above clause explanation is a direct quote from the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank.
Any rebuttals or logic from anyone who thinks Trump is NOT violating the Constitution?
Trump is a traitor to the American people and is beholden to Putin's regime. It's just that simple folks.
Finally !! Someone brave enough to use the the word Traitor.
POTUS and his family and administration that support him are ALL foreign operatives and agents for personl gain.
Try them all for TREASON. Nunez can join them at the front of the line.
Russian connection s are the elephant t in the room of our naked emperor.
Yesterday was the deadline for Trump and his administration to impose sanctions on Russia that were voted into law 6 months ago in a act of rare bipartisanship.
So of course Trump and his administration refuse, claiming that the act of passing the sanctions was sufficient deterrent. This was their truly hilarious defense of not enforcing the law that was passed:
This of course is utter nonsense. This is the president refusing to enforce the laws as passed. This was a softball law passed so that the president could demonstrate that he wasn't beholden to the Russians. And he has failed.
Those of you who claimed Obama acted lawlessly with his executive orders have been silent about Trump doing so. Are you going to be silent now as he fails to enforce the law? The law he signed as it was veto proof? Will you make excuses? Or do you simply prefer having him as our king with no limits on his power?
Barack refused to enforce the ACA that he signed. He gave "waivers" to groups that supported him.
I just love how the trolls attempt to change the narrative. Unfortunately, too many people continue to feed them. It gives them power. Don't let the hijack threads. Don't feed the trolls.
So the threat of sanctions are good enough? I wonder if Pompeo, Trump's CIA appointee thinks so?
It takes time for Trump's Russian business partners or Trump's future business partners to create subsidiaries to circumvent sanctions. Come on think about it. How will the Trump dynasty borrow money without Russia? That ship sailed awhile ago with American banks. Trump does not have our countries best interest at heart. It's all about his best interest and compromising conflicts of interest with Russian ties.
Trump's approval rating is higher in Russia then it is here in the U.S. I find that disturbing. He is more Russia's president then he is our president. Is it disturbing? America first? Well after Trump and then Russia.

Trump's refusal to implement a law passed by the Senate on a 98-2 is immediate grounds for impeachment.
If Trump felt so strongly about the sanctions he should have been a man of principle and vetoed it. To sign the law and then choose not to implement it is a weak and gutless move, not to mention unconstitutional.
Proof that Putin controls his puppet in the White House.
It sure does seem like it in that the legislation was passed by a LARGE bipartisan majority in both the house and Senate.
Trump will denigrate our allies all day long but never ONCE (not once) has he said one bad thing about Russia.
Why is that?

Trump ignores it.
Trump administration puts out a list cribbed from Forbes of wealthy Russians and make some noise about how sanctions will come later. Both are just silly.
Meanwhile, Trump and the Republicans are badmouthing Mueller and carrying on about deep state and secret societies, ...
While in Russia, a newscasters states that "Trump is ours again."
Golgi, what does this immigration thing have to do with Trump not enacting sanctions against Russia?
LOL, nothing. Theyre trying to change the topic into something about immigration. This should be getting a LOT more attention then it is getting, but its getting drowned in noise and distractions.
The argument is incredibly simple. Why won't Trump put through these sanctions that were overwhelmingly voted on by our Congress (98% in favor)?
If he had issues with the sanctions, why didn't he go through the correct channels to express them?
Choosing not to sign them into law a couple of days before they're supposed to be in effect is probably the worst choice he could make here.
Stop being partisan for a second - just consider this topic - no one else, please. Not Hillary, not Obama...or anyone else or any other topic.
Why is he doing this? Why isn't he reflecting the will of our Congress? It is very odd.
