Original Note:
The President of the United States does not have the power to make laws and thus cannot unilaterally ban assault weapons. This power rests with Congress, which includes the House of Representatives and the Senate. This is all clearly laid out in the United States Constitution: https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/constitution-transcript
