Vice President JD Vance was mocked Sunday for seemingly lacking a fundamental understanding of democracy after he suggested that judges shouldn’t be allowed to “control the executive’s legitimate power.”

Despite graduating from Yale Law School in 2013, Vance questioned the authority of judgeships in an X post Sunday, writing: “If a judge tried to tell a general how to conduct a military operation, that would be illegal. If a judge tried to command the attorney general in how to use her discretion as a prosecutor, that’s also illegal.

“Judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power,” he concluded.

Vance was responding to a federal judge’s decision to block Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing Treasury Department payment systems.
