The Supreme Court on Friday handed a significant victory to Donald Trump - and future American presidents - when curbing lower courts’ power to block executive orders.

Trump was beaming as he addressed reporters at the White House briefing room podium, calling it a “big, amazing decision” which the administration is “very happy about”.

The court’s decision not only impacts Trump’s birthright citizenship order, but also emboldens him to enact many of his other policy actions that have been temporarily thwarted by similar injunctions.
