      The Executive can’t take over the monetary decisions of the country, even if the monetary decision is to replace the currency with one the executive just happens to control and put out as private party. Congress is the one with the power to tax, spend, and create money per Article 1.

        Yeah, but who enforces the constitution right now in the US? The executive can’t start wars either.

        What would practically happen if Trump and the White House just declared they did it, and the oligarchs just went and had the tech made to enforce it?
