Less interested in takes making the obviously true point that this is illegal than I am in analyses of the practical hurdles he'd have to overcome. My sense is still that none of the institutions he'd need would actually comply, but I've also failed to anticipate a lot about the last few months, so.

Maybe they’ll bow to the courts, but I can’t see that happening.
As for hurdles, he already has all the backing he needs: Congress and the SC. Not to mention our “Liberal Media”.
Invoking John Roberts as a defense against it won’t go
He’s broken even more laws in the two months he’s been in office.
Traditions and norms matter, and the remedy for infraction is shame and ostracism.
I'm worried that if SCOTUS cites Anderson and says a Republican Congress would have to disqualify Trump, then we're in trouble.
