Yeah, basically. He carried over the order. Made it his own. Then revoked it. It's legal to revoke your own EO's.
It's also legal to revoke previous EOs. EOs only last for as long as they are not revoked by an active President.
Except in certain cases. It's in the clauses. EO's are easy to be undone, unless they aren't.
Trump could not revoke EOs related to DACA for example - SCOTUS ruled.
Hmm, and that is a ruling that Clarence Thomas strongly disagreed with if I remember correctly. SCOTUS protecting DACA EOs from revocation, is judicial activism at it's finest. Completely unconstitutional and made up.
