What does it say about the current president that he would sign an executive order that directly contravenes the constitution.

Are we to take solace in that his worst actions will be rejected by the court?

Can we not have a good faith actor instead?

Is it not possible to have a president that begins from a position of knowledge and respect for the constitution? And thus this detour via the court system is made unnecessary?

Many Presidents, including Obama, etc, have supported orders and legislation that are unconstitutional; this is pretty common. As far as this issue, he has some people that think they can make an argument that the 14th doesn't apply, he has been wrongly advised about that, in my view.
