"He doesn't need any authority to decide constitutionality in order to follow the constitution,"

The power to decide constitutionality is exclusively given to the judicial branch in the Constitution. Given that, there would have to be some clause that allows the executive to decide constitutionality. There isn't. Therefore, you are claiming something that isn't supported by the Constitution.
