Four Cities Sue Trump Saying Obamacare ‘Sabotage’ Violates Constitution

Four cities on Thursday sued President Trump, arguing that he is violating his constitutional duty to enforce the law by “sabotaging” Obamacare. The cities of Baltimore, Chicago, Columbus, and Cincinnati filed the lawsuit in federal court in Maryland, arguing that Trump’s actions against the ACA violate the Constitution’s provision that the president “shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” The lawsuit states that Trump’s actions are “an affront to the rule of law: to our constitutional system, under which Congress enacts laws and the President faithfully implements them.” (Peter Sullivan, The Hill)
