if the president lacks the power to do a thing but he gets away with doing it anyway, what does it even mean to say he lacks the power to do the thing?
@interfluidity
He lacks LEGITIMATE power to do so. Clearly he can regardless

@RnDanger Came here to say that, had "legal" in mind but "legitimate" is the same thing in this context.
@admitsWrongIfProven @interfluidity
Laws can be illegitimate, was my thought
@RnDanger
You are correct, but in this specific case the laws have not been changed yet, as far as i know.
If the changing is not according to legal process, you have a continuity problem and the "legal" you are doing is not actually covered by the democratic votes (if those are democratic, who knows *cough* gerrymandering *cough*)
So yeah, your wording is more robust in general.
