There are literally amendments to the Constitution preventing this from happening have you all lost your mind!

Why do we have to pretend the constitution matters when our enemies don't?

Ummm... Because our enemies don't... 🤷

They're just kids living out a simplistic power fantasy. "If I were king of the world, I'd solve this huge, intractable problem with a simple order". Like Mao ordering all the sparrows to be killed. Hopefully, once they experience the world a little, they realize that big problems are big because they're difficult and complicated to solve.

Housing is more complex and the proposed solution may not work, but there are some problems that could be solved by someone with absolute power pretty easily. For example, if we shipped health insurance CEOs off to El Salvadorian labor camps instead of innocent immigrants, people would stop having their claims denied and the concept of a deductible would go the way of the dodo.
