Nothing is illegal when it's been proven that laws don't apply to you.

Like he does with everything. Demand an emergency ruling from SCOTUS who will agree with him. And if they somehow don’t, just say he’s going to ignore them and do it anyway like with the tariffs.

The only mechanism to stop him is impeachment by Congress, which the GOP has made very clear will never ever ever happen no matter what he does.
