Survey: 83% say president is required to follow Supreme Court rulings. The other 17%? You know who you are.

The survey, released Thursday by Marquette University, found that 83 percent of respondents believe the commander in chief should follow the laws decided by the Supreme Court justices. However, 17 percent say the president has the power to disregard and overrule those decisions.

President should have the power to enact or repeal a law. Justices are supposed to follow and uphold, especially in a democracy. President is elected by the people, justices are not. If justices are superior, then there is no need for elections and Even a president.

President is the captain of the ship and navigator and he has every right to change the course of the ship to avert perils.

@in10RjFox He does have the power to enact or repeal laws . . through the Senate. The judiciary interprets laws and ensures that the actions of the executive and legislature are lawful. All three branches of government provide checks and balances to ensure that one branch does not become over-mighty and abuse its power.

@SunshineGirl Then how did the judges stay the "no birth right law" ? It's none of their business. They should only uphold or appeal.

@in10RjFox Because they interpreted it as unconstitutional.

@SunshineGirl then they have to appeal for an amendment.. there has been ever so many amendments right? That's their job. To facilitate the elected president.

@in10RjFox Er no, their job is to uphold the rule of law and reign in anyone who threatens that . . including the president.

Perhaps you should read the U.S. Constitution:

Article. III.
Section. 1.

The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a Compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.

Section. 2.

The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority;—to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls;—to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction;—to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party;—to Controversies between two or more States;— between a State and Citizens of another State,—between Citizens of different States,—between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects. ...

14th Amendment
Section 1

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

@beckyromero
privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States;

The constitution States for those born to citizens only. Not for foreigners. President has the right to protect the nation if the constitution is misinterpreted and abused.

FYI, I am not in US or its citizen. You already quoted only an amendment to a constitution. Which means further amendment can be passed if needed.
