The United States of America is governed not by any president, not by any Congress, but by a piece of paper called the Constitution, and the words that are contained within it.
Whenever the Universe creates some novel situation that is not covered by those words, the Constitution says that it is the job of the Supreme Court to figure out how to apply laws in a manner that most closely fits the spirit of the Constitution.
