Sounds like some made-up bullshit to me. Let's throw a flag on this motherfucker and stop the game for a review.

EDIT: Even if it's a thing, how can it have the superpower of closing entire government agencies, opening new ones that supersede national security laws, and nationalizing a voting system that resides in the states?

Surely couldn't they do the opposite, ie. refuse to act and wait to be taken to court (if they think they'd win)? Obviously futile if the court has been captured though
