34 Am I missing something? Trump shut down all "Executive Agencies" on December 24, 2019. That means any agencies that fall under the direct authority of the president. Soo.. Have they been operating illegitimately ever since? Is that why Q says "it was over before it began"?

It reads to me like he gave federal employees Christmas Eve off, not that they were released from duty indefinitely on that day.
Why does it give them this specific Christmas Eve off? If it was an EO to make it a paid day off it would just say December 24th.
Because Congress holds the authority to create federal holidays. Trump could by EO designate a day off for federal employees, but if it was going to be permanent, Congress would need to sign off.
Christmas Eve was not a federal holiday.
