Executive Orders... a slippery slope.
🗣️ DISCUSSION 💬
I admit, I don't know much about EO's. But when I read that Trump reversed (canceled) the affirmative action EO from LBJ, I immediately wondered things like...
Who will cancel Trump's EO's?
When will that happen?
Won't a future President take it even further and do 500 EO's the first day?
The President is not a law maker... he/she is a law signer, so what precedent is trump setting?
Are EO's Constitutional?
Anyway, I like being on the winning side of these EO's, but I also don't want to somehow someday be on the losing side of them.
Thoughts?
Your concerns are very valid. There are means of making EO's difficult to undo, but most can be undone by the next administration.
There is also some disagreement amongst legitimate Constitutional scholars on the legitimacy of Executive Orders.
That being said, I imagine that President Trump has far grander plans to transform this country in the coming 4 years. Many of those plans will be reliant on Congress to pass proper laws, but I strongly suspect he is eyeing Constitutional amendments as well to add additional safeguards and limits on the Federal government.
The Executive Orders are simply a means of undoing the controlled damage of Puppet Joe, and to jumpstart this term with a message to everyone that he means business.
But again, I agree with you and share your concerns. You may not know much about EO's, but your gut is spot on (IMHO).
