Ted Lieu comes out swinging
Is Donald Trump just pretending he doesn’t know what the Constitution says? Has he never actually read it? Does he not know how to read?

Dear @realDonaldTrump: Today’s #PressBriefing shows, again, that you don’t know what’s in the Constitution. The Framers put the President in Article 2, after Congress in Article 1. And they gave power to judges and states to stop the President.
Please read the Constitution. https://t.co/hEw1Aa3gVz
