This is totally expected. If they had ruled otherwise, the USA would no longer be a democracy. Because the President MUST be subject to the Law lest he place himself above both the Law-Giver (Congress) and the Judiciary.
Otherwise, the President would be a tyrant just like we had in medieval times, that did as they pleased. He would even have the power to remove anyone opposing him from Congress, or from SCOTUS. He would BE the Law. He wouldn't have the right to do those things, but he would have the POWER. And before long, his newly appointed stooges would have amended the Constitution to also give him the legal right.
POWER is a dangerous thing. That is why the Constitution distributed the Power of government over three separate and independent bodies: Congress, the Executive, and the Judiciary. The first makes the laws, the second executes those laws, and the third judges whether EVERYBODY abided by those laws.
You have to wonder how any American can vote for a man who thinks he has the rights of a dictator.
