What if [current POTUS] doesn't care what the SC says and continues to do whatever it was he was doing? It is clear the legislature is not going to hold him accountable...Congress clearly doesn't have the backbone to hold him accountable and the SC doesn't have the means.Yup. Imagine an elderly POTUS who throughout his life has wrecked everything he's touched yet somehow always managed to go on living consequence-free.
Now point out to him that while it is a separate branch of government from his - the
judiciary - who interpret the laws, the enforcement of the laws on a federal basis is entirely the purview the
Justice department. Detecting the crime, alleging the crime, placing into custody the perpetrators while awaiting trial, and executing whatever penalty the judiciary imposes are all administered by (in his mind) people who work for
him.
Remind him he lives in a SCOTUS-mandated consequence-free zone, and of his unlimited Constitutional ability to exempt anyone he pleases from any Federal judicial consequences as well (although I'm guessing no reminders are necessary).
