even if look past the errors of fact and poor reasoning throughout this piece, you are still left with a massive normative claim that isgur doesn’t even bother to support, which is that the purpose of the executive branch is to execute the president’s will and priorities.

Tides affect the lives of all people. Some people's lives are disrupted by the impact of tides. They are displaced and have to change homes frequently. Rising sea levels are putting people on the margins at risk. We want to go deeper into the story of tides. Let's move forward.
