That began with the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. President Barack Obama repeatedly, and correctly, said that he did not have the constitutional authority to grant legal status to “Dreamers,” those brought here illegally when they were children, as a class. Then he did so anyway.

Trump rescinded this presidential overreach, but delayed the program’s termination for six months to give Congress, where the authority actually resides, time to act.

Despite the howls of protest, this was a well-crafted and well-considered action consistent with respecting the constitutional separation of powers while giving Congress the time to provide legal status for dreamers the right way.

The same thing happened, and is happening, regarding the cost-sharing subsidies in Obamacare.
