The too bad the president has no constitutional powers to give that any sort of weight.... As it is, it's just an opinion of his and carries no constitutional grounding as far as what he can personally do as President

Edit: I stand corrected and didn’t read the updated bill.

Original text: The defense bill just removed the insurrection act from his purview.

They feared him doing what is right.

Aside from the fact that it's no longer in the bill, the powers to suppress insurrection come from the Constitution not Congress. The Act gave additional license.
