President Donald Trump has ordered the U.S. to stop minting pennies. His surprise announcement comes after decades of unsuccessful efforts to phase out the 1-cent coin.
Can Trump really order the Treasury to stop minting pennies without Congress’ approval?
Yes, according to legal scholar Laurence H. Tribe, the Carl M. Loeb University Professor of Constitutional Law Emeritus at Harvard University.
U.S. code gives the Treasury Secretary the authority to mint and issue coins “in amounts the secretary decides are necessary to meet the needs of the United States.”
Yeah, but Harvard? Isn’t that the same low-rate school with Vance came from? I mean if they can’t even teach their students that the Judicial arm has power over the President, then can you really trust anything their graduates say?
