His EO went through the legality checks prior to it being actioned, so the need to keep him check twice over is needed because?

Hence, why he rightfully fired Obama's Acting Attorney General, Sally Yates, for publicly undermining The President.

It obviously didn't go through very good checks if it so easily overturned. Yes, you could take a paranoid track and assume the Judiciary, Border Control, Visa Administration, etc. personnel are all politically motivated or you could just take the view that this is just a bad piece of legislation rushed through in haste.

Plus he has had over a week to 'clarify' the mistake and hasn't.

Trump said he was for Torture, his defense secretary is against it, so Trump has accepted General Mattis view of it and left him with the decision not to use it. Does that look like a 'yes' person to you?

Alternative facts you mean of the 7 countries that were devised and deemed a threat by Obama Administration ?

I don't recall ever reading that Obama stopped letting people into the country, who had the necessary papers to be there??

Having a order so badly drafted it included people with green cards and visas. Unless it was intentional that is.

you've used the fact that Obama made the same countries have visas and some extra vetting to get into the country as a defence for Trump since the story broke ,your first post on the subject was a link that showing Obamas new legislation and then this from you ...........post 1817

I saw the story earlier today on the news. I refer you to my last post, whatever I/we agree/don't agree on is irrelevant, though I point out the massive hypocrisy, that there was already a 'Muslim ban' before this so called 'Muslim ban' before Trump became President and no-one bat an eyelid during or since it's inception.

Obamas legislation was completely different to Trumps ,the only similarity is that Trump used the same list of countries.

Re: U.S President: Donald Trump

Perhaps the EO is a message to all especially those who sit on the fence wherever they might be, that you are either with the US or against it and if you prefer to be non-committal about your intentions you may find you become collateral damage? The EO is temporary presumably so that sympathies can be established.

The President is acting on his word which is what his supporters, the majority of the electorate, expect and he is reaching them directly through twitter to be assured what he says isn't massaged before dissemination.

I agree with you but 'being against policy' has reached a new level. A march or peaceful protest is fine; gunning down citizens in the street is not. Inaction within the EU is showing us where this leads.
