President Trump speaks about his Constitutional duties
May 7
On “Meet the Press with Kristen Welker,” President Donald Trump was asked if he thinks he needs to uphold the U.S. Constitution, and he said, “I don’t know.” President Trump added his lawyers “are obviously going to follow what the Supreme Court said.”
This response came after a series of questions regarding the right to due process for people living in the United States and the Fifth Amendment. During this exchange, President Trump said he wants to deport millions of undocumented immigrants, some of whom he called “some of the worst people on Earth.” Welker then pressed President Trump on whether he, as President, needs to abide by the U.S. Constitution and the rights it provides to people in the U.S.
Stephen Montoya, a partner at Montoya, Lucero and Pastor and an expert in Constitutional law, joined “Arizona Horizon” to address the comments made by President Trump.
