Executive orders are tweets on stationery, folks!

As a reminder, executive orders—while noteworthy and significant—are basically advisory memos from the White House, as the president does not have the legal or constitutional authority to issue edicts with the force of law

Ppl seem to forget they make the laws…to benefit themselves. EO are the wannabe kings orders to be followed. By EOY I expect public executions live on Fox.

It's wild how normalized overreach has become EOs get tossed around like royal decrees. The scary part is how many people don't even notice or worse don't care. Feels like we're watching a slow-motion unraveling.

This opinion is wrong. The tariff rates are going up and down based on the EO's. People are being disappeared based on the EO's. Law firms are being banned from Federal buildings based on these EO's. Whether or not you think that's legal, they still effect the functioning of government.

I thought they were orders that exclusively directed the executive branch. To impact the other branches those branches need to weigh in?

The law means nothing. The Constitution is the Law of the Land and Trump breaks it ALL DAY LONG.

Executive Orders are not laws, but they establish government policy and subsequent Presidents often abide by them. For example, Truman desegregated the military by Executive Order, and the Emancipation Proclamation was an Executive Order.

Some of us spend months of our life learning the nuanced details of EO 12333 surveillance law 🥺

Maybe someone should tell the orange potato head in the Oval Office that his scrawls, that he so proudly shows off to everyone, aren’t even worth sticking on the White House refrigerator. No one wants to see that KKK scrawl of his anyway

Hear that Pam Bondi? None up on your Constitution or tax some of those memory enhancement vitamins. Ask RFK and he will advise.

The three branches of government work together to ensure that laws are made, enforced, and interpreted fairly. His executive orders will all be challenged in the courts, especially if they were already voted on and appropriated by congress and senate…

Tell that to Congress. They just sit idly by watching the Shit Show!
