Then they would've voted.
By not voting they are saying they are ok with either option.
That's how democracy works. Voters can bury their heads in the sand, it doesn't make the politicians go away.
Getting voted in is NOT permission to break the law.
He's illegally bypassing Congress with his actions. Doesn't matter if this is what your dumbass voted for, it's not how this works.

I shouldn't be surprised by your lack of reading comprehension. I'm not really sure what you're even responding to, none of it lines up with anything I just said.
And again, telling you he's going to break the law doesn't mean he's allowed to break the law even if he is voted in after saying it.
This is that half of America is functionally illiterate nonsense the rest of us have to deal with.
