'The president does not have any inherent authority under the Constitution over public health and over public health crises,' says Elizabeth Goitein of the Brennan Center for Justice. 'That's a point he doesn't quite seem to understand.'

Elizabeth Goitein, co-director of the Liberty and National Security Program at the Brennan Center for Justice, joins Alicia Menendez to discuss President Trump's declaration that he would adjourn both chambers of Congress and his claims to "absolute power" over the states to reopen the economy.

That’s just one of many things he doesn’t quite understand.

Just one point of too many to count points he doesn’t understand. being ignorant is not something to brag about yet he does it every day!

Knowingly committing Sedition is a crime

Then why do you leftist blame the president for coronavirus

He should be told.

Yes. It’s the governor’s who control. Blame them or not. But you can’t blame Trump

Trump is the proof that a party can come to the government with the help of a buffoon & electoral committee, but the Rep's dig its own grave why does not get rid of him in time.

So he subverted it with TWEETS

Is there any point that he understands? I have yet to see a single one

Trump has no desire to acquaint himself with most issues, let alone master them. No president has ever been quite as disdainful of knowledge, as indifferent to facts, as Trump. His combination of ignorance, instability, and vindictiveness has lead to national catastrophe.

Then why do governors keep asking him for ventilator’s,PPE, and money?

Yall bout some idiot's over at MSNBC! Not only we at war with the Chinese virus but also against terrorists like Omar! I bet she carries her brothers picture in her towel

What about civil war? He has now switched to inciting his base to utilize the 2nd amendment and rise up against the democrats.

It’s the Republican Governor’s or Mayor’s that need to be reminded.

Because he's an imbecile.

Which will make it much easier on Trump when liberals move to assign blame.

But then: what DOES he understand?

Please, I beg you msnbc. Stop show Trump's 'Coronavirus' updates. It's just playing to his base!!!

Inherent? He’s not even coherent.

Our founding fathers saw him coming.

Oh, I think he knows, but he's becoming more insignificant by the day, he's trying to say he's in charge. We all know better, and so does he. His ego won't let him admit he's as useless as...well you know, he can't stand the fact that the Governors are in charge, so he fakes it.

He simply doesn't care!

Correction: When the framers wrote the Constitution they knew that in 2020 there would be Global Pandemic started by a virus from a lab in Wuhan, China and specifically granted the US President inherent authority over this public health crisis. —Or— This is a stupid narrative!

Why worry about the Constitution when you've got extortion?

Lefties who follow are a real clever and witty bunch. /sarc

Is there anything he does actually understand?

He also has no coherent thoughts but who's keeping score?

VP Dear Vice President Mike Pence: Please Use the 25th Amendment to Remove Trump and Save Us From the Coronavirus

He does have absolute authority over interstate commerce. Checkmate

stop funding blue states

WHO CDCgov Has full authority over contagious pandemic episode events. President has none when public is dead.

Reported US coronavirus deaths: 7 weeks ago: 1 death 6 weeks ago: 19 deaths 5 weeks ago: 58 deaths 4 weeks ago: 323 deaths 3 weeks ago: 2,043 deaths 2 weeks ago: 8,488 deaths 1 week ago: 20,604 deaths Right now: 38,664 deaths

Who gives af what she thinks?

IMPOTUS45MORON He really is an idiot. He’s in WAY over his head and just doesn’t realize it. Sad.

He doesn't understand a lot of things... he probably velcro his shoes.

The way I read it is that he has the power for a shut down under a national emergency all the way to martial law, but he can not lift sanctions he did not place. He did not order shelter in place only recommended. He has withheld authority and let states decide, as he should.

Let’s start with what he understands. I don’t even have a starter!

and liberal a hole governors do not have authority either!!!

From the ppl that listen to a kid for global warming, rig their own elections and nominate an old guy with dementia.

LMAO and yet the Left is blaming him for this. That tweet didn’t work out the way that you intended MSDNC. 😂

be like, we got the date right at least?
