Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution requires the President to "take care that the laws be faithfully executed," meaning executive orders must align with existing laws i.e. he can't change the constitution or law.
Also see the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (1946) where courts can review executive actions to ensure they are not arbitrary, capricious, or unconstitutional.
What happens if this administration chooses to simply ignore these judges’ rulings? If Pam Bondi isn’t willing to uphold her oath to protect the constitution, which I don’t believe she will, what action can be taken?
