Executive Orders:
US Supreme Court Backs Trump
By Yadnom Awu/Asaba
By an overwhelming majority, justices of the American Supreme Court, today, ruled that Federal judges lacked the power to overrule Presidential Executive Orders.
The justices ruled by 6-_3 that no federal judge had the power to give a nationwide ruling overruling Presidential Executive Order.
Reacting to the development, President Donald Trump described it as a great victory.
Trump said the Supreme Court ruling would now allow enable his administration to formulate and implement policies which, he said, Americans voted overwhelmingly for.
Experts, however, said that the Supreme Court ruling only affected the processes, rather than policies themselves.
One of the policies likely to be affected by the Supreme Court’s ruling is that of birthright citizenship which confers automatic citizenship on babies born in America.
Trump had issued an Executive Order banning further implementation of the policy, and had revoked the visa of thousands of foreigners and ordered their deportation .
