And yet he claims to know the Constitution.
During the 2016 election forcing the law, he indicated a willingness to resist the president-elect.

Republican Senator Jeff Sessions, a close ally of Trump’s and his nominee to be attorney general, told a Senate confirmation hearing that the law was “not the right step” and should not have applied to the “higher ups” in the military and intelligence community.
