As I already said, yes you are. Just denying it doesn't work.
If you think there is a distinction we are missing then by all means explain it.
I am not saying that at all.
Where in the constitution does it say the president can order anybody in the executive branch to commit murder or molest a child?

Where in the Constitution does it say a POTUS can obstruct justice?
Bear in mind that the Constitution doesn't specifically say that a POTUS can hire and fire at will either. It gives him powers of appointment, subject to Senate confirmation, but says nothing about firing. What it says is far broader than that, to wit: "the executive Power [of the United States] shall be vested in a President of the United States of America." The problem is, if you interpret that language broadly enough to permit him to exercise executive authority in such a manner as to violate one criminal statute, the implication is that he can violate any other criminal statute, so long as he is exercising his executive power while doing so. Any time a POTUS orders an employee of the executive branch to do anything, that is an exercise of executive power.
I truly think you do not understand the implications of what you are arguing.
Nowhere. Firing an FBI director isn't obstruction of justice. President can't "faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States" if he's ordering murders and child molestation.Where in the Constitution does it say a POTUS can obstruct justice?
It is. Firing an FBI director isn't obstruction of justice.Desperate duh-version. Obstruction of Justice is a crime no matter who commits it, even the President. The Constitutional remedy is impeachment, conviction & removal from office.

You could argue that the president can't deprive someone of life without due process but there's certainly nothing in the Constitution that prevents him from ordering the moleststion of children.
Possibly true, I hadn't thought about that one. Still, I'm sure we can brainstorm a 100+ more heinous crimes a POTUS could commit with impunity.
Guys, he thinks firing Comey did nothing to affect the investigation. Because reasons!
This is why it's quickly less and less surprising to me that he believes the Earth is flat AND isn't willing to defend that position anymore.
Pedant and coward are the primary traits of the person with which you are trying to engage, ignoring his hilariously stupid views about the planet.

The ordering of molestation of children isn't an enumerated power of the executive.You could argue that the president can't deprive someone of life without due process but there's certainly nothing in the Constitution that prevents him from ordering the moleststion of children.
If the earth was flat Trump is still well within his constitutional power to fire the FBI director for any reason. If congress thinks he obstructed justice then they should impeach him. It isn't a crime.Guys, he thinks firing Comey did nothing to affect the investigation. Because reasons!

When you turn to nonsense like this you know its over. You're wrong.
Are you saying tripled down on stupid is better?
Ok, I keep forgetting to put you on ignore before I close out.If the earth was flat Trump is still well within his constitutional power to fire the FBI director for any reason. If congress thinks he obstructed justice then they should impeach him. It isn't a crime.
Lots of flailing around for an "enlightened" person who doesn't even understand what impeachment was. If I am all of those things you list here what does that make you?I'm saying that you are both illiterate (implied if you were literate and thus understood that post), and your math sucks. If you think I even doubled or tripled down, it means you can't read.
This is why you are so easy to manipulate: you create the world as you want it in your head, then filter out that which conflicts with your fantasy world, before it enters your cognitive center. You have no idea what I said in various posts, because you are a fucking idiot. I mean, really, it's that simple: you're a fucking idiot.
A dummy. a moron. a foolish poltroon. an ignoramus of the highest order. an imbecile. a barely sentient slime mold. a pre-neural spontaneously aborted fetus. etc etc.
Those are not the logical outcomes of my argument. I don't believe the president has the authority to instruct anybody to commit unlawful acts, nobody does who holds this view. He can guide and influence investigations that are under the executive branch, that's part of his job. We do not have a 4th branch of government which is what you're assuming we have.You already brought up the unitary executive, remember? Either telling members of the executive branch what to do is acting under the president's constitutional powers or it isn't. Which one is it? Since your argument is that the president can't obstruct justice while exercising his constitutional powers it only stands to reason he cannot commit any other crime while doing so. Woolfe just used child moleststion to highlight the absurdity of the position you're parroting. (And a position I am 100% sure you conveniently adopted very recently)
When you stubbornly refuse to address the logical outcomes of your argument you know it's over. You're wrong, is it really this hard to admit it? Just admit you hadn't thought it through.

Buckshot basically claims that obstruction of justice isn't a crime if the President does it.
It didn't work out that way for Nixon, but, well, everything is post-truth now.
