The president doesn't have the right to ignore laws that he doesn't agree with. If the administrations policies don't follow the law than the judicial branch can strike them down, and congress can restrain the president through the power of the purse and the possibility of impeachment. Congress should properly consider the constitution before making a law. The president should consider the constitutionality of enforcing it, and also has legitimate constitutional powers not directly subject to revocation by congress (congress can impeach but than the next president still has the powers). Both branches, by the nature of what they do, need to interpret the constitution. Neither branch has a privileged position in this regard over the other one. The privileged position is reserved for the judicial branch. Because allowing the executive to negate the legislative on a whim That isn't what is happening. It is rather a case with a disagreement over the properly defined limits of presidential powers. Bush is not unique in this regard there have been many such disputes between the legislative and executive branch of our federal government.
