If I were to summarize the rule of law and put it into Rule of Law 101, I would say first of all, it all starts and ends with the Constitution, number one. Number two, Congress makes our laws.

Number four, the Supreme Court and the federal courts are the final decider on whether Congress or the President are following the Constitution and laws. (08:56–09:03)
