APA Challenges Test Trump's Constitutional Limits

President Donald Trump is facing significant legal challenges as he attempts to implement his agenda through executive orders, many of which have been temporarily blocked by the courts. A key tool used against these actions is the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) of 1946, which requires government agencies to follow specific procedures and provide sound reasoning for policy changes. This law has become a cornerstone in lawsuits that deem Trump's rapid policy shifts as 'arbitrary and capricious.' Despite Trump's claims of executive overreach being judicial activism, legal experts and retired judges warn that his actions are testing the constitutional limits of presidential power, threatening a constitutional crisis. The courts, rather than Congress, appear to be the primary check on Trump's administration, highlighting the fragility of the U.S. system of checks and balances.
