Doesn't say he'll suspend the constitution, which he couldn't do even if he wanted.

He just said he's going to close the border, and drill (for oil I presume)

I don't know if he can close the border with an executive order, but if he can, then it's just a power any and every president has had.

It is an odd power in the "greatest democracy" in the world that the president can invoke law with the stroke of a pen without consulting either House.

But you could argue any president that has issued an executive order has acted like a dictator, and they all have.
