I've read the constitution plenty in law school. The laws being referred to in that passage refer to the laws of the United States. What federal law exactly was he enforcing? What in the constitution or federal common law would give him the authority to withhold congressional appropriated funds to do so? I look forward to what I am sure will be a spirited and respectful debate with an opponent that is surely well versed in constitutional law :)! I really look forward to learning from you, as you seem to have a firmer grasp of the constitution than the professors at top law schools! https://medium.com/@legalscholarsonimpeachment/letter-to-congress-from-legal-scholars-6c18b5b6d116 I have finals next week so this will be such a HUGE help for me!
