“An executive order (EO) is a directive issued by the President of the United States that has the force of law, but it is not a law in itself. Here’s a breakdown of its legal status: (cont’d)
Executive orders are based on existing constitutional or statutory authority. The president cannot create new laws but can direct how existing laws are enforced.
They must be grounded in the Constitution or laws passed by Congress. (cont’d)
2. Legal Force & Enforcement
• EOs are binding on federal agencies and employees.
• They are published in the Federal Register and assigned a number. (cont’d)
3. Checks & Balances
• Congress can override an EO by passing a law that contradicts it (but the president can veto that law).”
(cont’d)
• A new president can revoke or modify previous executive orders. cont

I just hope he'll piss off enough people that the marker will be taken away.
I have a theory about this. This is being setup as a pretext to have MAGA Congress reject vote outcomes from "noncompliant" states. Which is of course unconstitutional. But who will stop them?
Pete stopped drinking the moment he was confirmed as....
Sorry, I can't finish that sentence.
He's been partying like it's 1999 !
“When an executive order isn’t really an order”.
Take the time to read it.
I did my “advocates for democracy," and I agree with @joshtpm.bsky.social
I search for good researched writing and sometimes write it myself.

These are not laws and those who acquiesce in advance are complicit, especially those who know better.
All illegal EO’s have been challenged in court & Trump has lost at every turn. His chaos is to cover his abject failure of an administration.
