When, earlier, I specifically asked you to elaborate on what you meant by "inherent powers of the executive" [edit: specifically, why you were invoking them as the reason the law doesn't apply to Trump when it normally would], you replied to the effect that you simply meant the fact that he was the boss of Comey.  ("He's technically in charge of the official proceeding.")  Now you're talking about the Constitution.  I feel like you failed to mention something.  Please get to it. 

Article II: Section 1: Clause 1:

The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.

This establishes the president as the person in charge and as well as a separation of powers.

Yes, you already mentioned the Constitution, but that is very vague in terms of being an answer to the question that I asked you.  I am getting tired of asking you to be more specific.  For example, on what do you base your position, if I am right that it is your position, BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T TOLD ME, that a law saying "don't abuse your power for corrupt purposes" is not one of the legitimate checks and balances the branches of government can and do exercise on each other? 

When answering, please also address the fact that the Constitution explicitly says that Congress is involved in the process of appointing officers, so it's clearly not the case that they are meant to be totally uninvolved in the doings of the executive branch.  Also, I would suggest that "corruptly" altering the course of an investigation would run counter to "taking Care that the Laws be faithfully executed", and therefore punishing the President for doing things he is not supposed to be doing seems entirely consistent with the wishes of the Constitution.
