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?
EO’s only direct executive branch employees on policy, behavior and expectations. They don’t apply to regular citizens. They are memo’s from the boss. He can’t issue an executive order to make us peeps do anything.
They also effect any org that gets money from the govt
^.
EO's should probably be gotten rid of. Hopefully Trump's last EO is a referral to Congress to make EO's illegal. "Dictator for a day"
Are EO's Constitutional?
Eliminating Executive Orders entirely would require a fundamental shift in our system of government. The President, as the head of a unitary executive branch, possesses inherent authority to direct and manage the executive departments. Executive Orders serve as a crucial mechanism for the President to exercise this authority, ensuring consistent and unified policy implementation across the vast federal bureaucracy.
Look at the EOs as the boss telling the minions what is demanded of them. In a system of governance with a unitary executive branch, there must be a structured way for the boss to do this.
Hm. Thank you for the insight! I need to study up on these
