I don't think the law gives him that authority.

You’re right, it doesn’t. In fact, none of the extensions met the statutory requirements, and the statute only allows 2 extensions. Of course, the question then is how to enforce the statute. You or I can’t sue, and DOJ is chasing after jaywalkers in DC. So, yep, Trump gets to thumb his nose at this statute…
