Funny how you didn't read quote this part:

Given both the implied legal and constitutional authority as well as the long-standing accepted process of Presidents, it appears that a President can, if he so chooses, issue an executive order with respect to earmarks contained solely in committee reports and not in any way incorporated into the legislative text."

He CAN issue an executive order

Are you a lawyer??

Didn't think so. The people writing that and advising the President are. I'd take them over you in a legal knowledge challenge

IF he does it, it will be incredible for the country

MY original question was a hypothetical- if her were to take this step and wipe out ALL earmarks, would you support it as a good idea?
