Trump against tests his power by declaring only he can re-open US from lockdown

Trump against tests his power by declaring only he can re-open US from lockdownDonald Trump is declaring he – and only he – can give a lawful order opening the United States from its coronavirus lockdown. The claim, questioned by experts, amounts to a resumption of the impeached president pushing his office's powers in new ways since being acquitted by the Senate.Before the Covid-19 outbreak, Mr Trump's aides did not deny their boss felt newly confident with renewed swagger after the GOP-run Senate cleared him on House-approved charges of abusing his power and obstructing Congress. Those same aides said he felt more comfortable issuing pardons, delving into Justice Department matters, and taking other executive actions after coming to fully understand that Democrats lack the votes to use his most norms-busting actions to convict and remove him from office.
