The key issue is that Section 145 exists precisely because the Constitution anticipated the President going on vacation or otherwise being temporarily absent. It expressly says: "Whenever the President is proceeding on vacation or is otherwise unable to discharge the 1/

The presidency announced Tinubu will be going on a 21 day "working vacation" he is constitutionally entitled to. The 21 days has since elapsed. Even in our offices, if you are going on vacation, someone is appointed to stand in for you. But the president can govern by Telephone.

So scandalized listening to him, a supposed SAN! Even in our little offices, you are bound by law to hand over reins to your subordinate as you proceed on vac. Yet, that never preclude you from attending to official matters while away. BAT has flouted the rule of his engagement!

This administration is so lawless, even when something is not in the constitution, is it morally right to leave a country and spend over 20 days outside. Imagine telling your employer you want to take 3 weeks off, then you keep extending the days with no explanation whatsoever

UNGA Attendance: The President Has Missed Three Years of the UNGA Because It's His Choice - Bwala Section 145 of the Constitution does not have to mention non-working vacation; that’s why we have the court that exists for interpretation.

When the president has embarked on vacation, particularly one that has exceeded the 21-day window permissible under Section 145. Then, the country no longer has a president or a person capable of exercising the functions of the office of president. If there is no president or a person constitutionally empowered to perform the functions of the office of president, executive powers cannot be delegated. There has to be a president who will now delegate to a vice president or ministers. - Inibehe Effiong, lawyer, speaking on President Tinubu's extended working vacation by a few days. #CTVMorningBrief

Mr. Samuel Adkisson, Associate Counsel to the President, White House Counsel's Office, on presidential accountability over the executive branch: “To the extent federal agencies exercise significant executive power, that agency must be accountable to the president. Article II of the Constitution vests the executive power in a president of the United States of America, period. The Constitution also provides that the president shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed. But if the president can't effectively supervise his subordinates in the executive branch — if, in other words, he is not in charge — it becomes practically impossible for the president to fulfill his duties under Article II of the Constitution. It also begs the question: who would be in charge? It's not the courts. It's not Congress. It's certainly not the people.”

“We don’t think that anyone has the constitutional right to double-digit returns…it’s not in the Constitution.” Of course it doesn’t need to be in the Constitution. The Constitution is about restraining government, not about restraining profits.

No institution is superior. All are our organs of the Constitution, be it the legislature, the judiciary, or the executive. But it is fundamental that each institution maintains what I call constitutional boundary limitations. Constitutional transgressions are terrifying. They shake democratic governance. #Democracy as a citadel captures its strength when intact but suffers acute vulnerability when compromised. At the moment, I can say, with deep concern, this Constitutional architecture is getting strained by the day and also fragile, with not so infrequent institutional incursions in the domain of the other. Dr. Ambedkar reflected in the Constituent Assembly, “The successful working of our #Constitution depends upon the maintenance of the boundary between the legislative, executive, and judicial functions.”

🚨Canada claims the U.S. has threatened its 'sovereignty.' Pure hypocrisy as it remains a constitutional monarchy under the King of the U.K. (also the King of Canada). Constitutional lawyer Shawn Buckley notes that Canada’s Constitution is simply made up of British statutes & Orders in Council. Technically, the UK Parliament could still repeal or amend it, and that Canada remains, in legal structure, a UK colony. 🟢In the U.S the EXECUTIVE Power is the President. 🔴In Canada, the EXECUTIVE Power is the King. Section 9 of the Constitution Act vests executive authority in the King. Canadians are taught that the 'federal Cabinet' holds that power. It does - but only as authority DELEGATED from the Crown. ➡️The Governor General: -Acting for the monarch, outranks the Prime Minister. -COMMANDS the military in the Crown’s name. -Retains the reserve power to DISMISS the Prime Minister. Even after you pay off your house, the underlying title traces to the Crown. The King, in right of Canada, owns your land. Elected officials swear an oath to the KING. It's 2026. Elected officials should swear an oath to the people. To Canadians.
