    enforcement is up to the ag, so yea. they could just ‘ignore’ the law.

    the only thing the ‘president’ can do is extend the deadline by 90 days given evidence that the company is closing-in on a deal.

    with scotus out of the way, ruling in favor of trump’s initial desires, and that which subsequently passed through congress; it is now up to congress to undo the legislation if they so choose.

      In practice, there’s no real mechanism to force it (especially if Congress is unwilling to impeach & convict). But legally speaking, the Take Care clause of the constitution obligates the President (through his executive) to enforce all laws passed by Congress. Ignoring it would be unconstitutional.
