Yes, they could (should) change how they enforce those laws, but that doesn’t decriminalize it. He’s also bound by the constitution (article 2 section 3) which states ‘he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed’, which probably leaves him some room for interpretation, but, theoretically at least, he can’t just ignore the laws that exist. What’s needed is actual decriminalization, which is the purview of the legislative branch, for which they need the numbers in congress.
What happens if he ignores that. Genuinely. What consequence in your opinion does a president face for ignoring that.
At a guess, impeachment. Only, rather than the half baked previous attempt, it’ll be carried by representatives from both sides as a blatant breach of the rules. From the republicans because he’s a dem and from the dems because they keep trying to play fair.
Ok so you can acknowledge that impeachment has already been tried and failed. If the consequences for doing a thing are already applied, there are no consequences for doing a thing.
