It seems like there are a number of laws and norms in the USA which have no enforcement teeth in them, in part because of judicial "standing". If the Trump doesn't make his tax returns public, regular citizens don't have standing to ask for them. If Trump destroys taxpayer-owned buildings (like the East Wing), regular citizens don't have standing to stop him. If Trump won't release food aid sitting in warehouses, who has standing to compel him? Thus there seems to be a fundamental problem with judicial oversight. In a better world, perhaps the legislature has some ability to compel the Executive -- but short of impeachment, I don't know what kind of coercion they can wield.
