61. There are no unenumerated "magic" powers of the President. |

All unenumerated powers are reserved to the People or the states per the 9th and 10th Amendments of the Constitution.
There is no need for the Supreme Court to rule on magical unenumerated powers therefore. What you are saying is that anytime a President can think up a new way to take our liberty that the Supreme Court hasn't ruled on yet, he can do so. The Constitution says NO, that's not how it works - powers are to be enumerated only and unenumerated powers are not authorized.
If your rule was correct then there would be a never ending cat and mouse game of trying to take our rights from us.
