“A President who touts an image of himself as a ‘king’ or a ‘dictator,’ perhaps as his vision of effective leadership, fundamentally misapprehends the role under Article II of the U.S. Constitution. In our constitutional order, the President is tasked to be a conscientious custodian of the law, albeit an energetic one, to take care of effectuating his enumerated duties, including the laws enacted by the Congress and as interpreted by the Judiciary.” – United States District Judge Beryl A. Howell, “Memorandum Opinion,” March 6, 2025 (Wilcox v. Trump, et al., United States District Court for the District of Columbia)
