  • Alarm as JD Vance says federal judges 'aren't allowed' to control president - Experts argued expansive view of executive power could cause constitutional crisis

The article discusses Ohio Senator J.D. Vance's controversial statement regarding the authority of federal judges over the President.

The article highlights the tension between branches of government and the ongoing debate about the extent of presidential immunity and judicial authority.
