Section 12 -- Judges Shall Not Create Laws or De Facto Laws

Judges' rulings will only impact the cases in question.  Only congress creates laws.  Congress must review all Supreme Court rulings to see if new laws need to be passed, thus clearly delineating that only congress creates laws.

Section 13 -- The President Shall Not Create Laws or De Facto Laws

The President only has power to enforce laws enacted by congress and cannot institute orders of any kind that in essence act as law.
