My point was that he is acting like a king. And if he's allowed to act like a king, checks and balances don't mean anything.

Which makes him the king.

Turns out, letting government operate on a system of agreements that require appropriate behavior instead of clear consequences for this type of behavior is a bad idea.

If Congress tells the Executive: "Here's some money, spend it on USAID to stabilize regions in which the US Army operates and are of strategic importance". And the Executive says, "thanks for the money! I will spend it on whatever the hell I choose." And congress just belly flops over the next time they pass a budget, without checking that overreach of power, the Executive looks more and more like a king.

You voted for congress, but apparently congress doesn't matter anymore.

He is routinely violating laws, so quickly that there isn't enough room in the courts for all of them.

"King" is inaccurate, but correctly implies the degree to which the law does not apply to him.
