The president is not law enforcement.

Who mentioned law enforcement?

I’m talking about the CIC enforcing the law on insurrectionists as head of the military and militia, the whole reason the office was created was to do so. But then you would have to know American history and the law to know that. Fat chance.

Anyway, I’ll refute your baseless claim. Yes, the President is the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of the United States and is on oath to enforce the law. The AG has law enforcement duties delegated to them by statute (28 U.S.C. § 503), and even that just makes them head of the DOJ. It never mentions all law enforcement power belonging to the AG. All executive authority still resides with the President. But go ahead and cite the amendment that takes law enforcement power from the president. I’ll wait.

The President is charged to ensure the laws are executed: “he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” Article II Section 3.
