Impeachable offense

This is another impeachable offense. Trump's all out assault on the Affordable Care Act is not only cruel and unnecessary, it's a direct violation of his constitutional duties. Under Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution, the president has an obligation to "take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” But Trump is unfaithfully executing the law by doing everything to ensure its failure.

As Yale law professor Abbe Gluck points out, Trump's efforts are illegal because:

1) The law has twice been upheld by the Supreme Court, so there's no reason to halt implementation on legal grounds.
2) Trump's motivation is clear. He has explicitly stated that his intent is to damage the law.
3) Nor has the Trump administration offered a justification for dismantling the law.

How much more clear does it need to be that Trump has no regard for the Constitution or the obligations he has sworn to uphold. Congress must hold him accountable for unfaithfully discharging his duties as president.
