he needs to pass some real laws so all this shit doesn't 180 in eight years

Wrong.

executive orders only work within the framework of the established law

trump has no legislative power himself

Where in the constitution does it say the Executive Branch can make laws?

Go ahead, I'll wait.

>are my mom's rules alternative laws?
>is the dress code at work alternative laws?
>are the rules of the website alternative laws?
it's called an administration for a reason. executives determine how to run shit.

stfu moron

Executive orders are not laws but they are constitutional.

Congress passes a law, bill, or budget. Its the executive branch that is responsible for filling in the details and specifics of how to execute or enforce what congress has passed. The more specific a law is from congress is the less wiggle room the president has to interrupt and enforce it.

>not laws

They serve the exact same purpose as laws

Just because you call them "executive orders" does not mean they aren't laws

call them what you want, they are laws

and they are unconstitutional

FUCKING

They were an abuse of power when Obama used them. They are an abuse of power now.

This exactly. Trumpy is about to learn that just because he says it and signs a piece of paper doesn't mean it's going to happen. In fact, this might lead to the biggest shrinkage of power of the executive branch we'll have seen in our lifetimes.

op's an alternative heterosexual.

They're unconstitutional and Trump has been abusing this power. The ACLU will sue the government. His immigration policy is unconstitutional and founded solely on hate.

literally every president has used executive orders. Ultimately they are mostly just directives to specific executive departments regarding the implementation of policy. In some cases Congress has granted the president a large latitude of flexibility in how policy is implemented. This is the case with immigration law which is why Obama and Trump can have almost opposite immigration policies without actually changing the existing laws. They are subject to judicial review and are sometimes unconstitutional, but Trump has not done any unconstitutional executive orders. You know he hasn't even come close to going beyond his constitutional authority because not even the hysterical left has made the case that he is breaking the constitution. He is actually being transparent to a degree we've never seen before. Obama signed nearly 300 executive orders and he sure as shit didn't bring in cameras and have big announcements for all of them like Trump is doing

No they aren't you fucktard. Here's how it works:

Congress passes law in 2006 saying we should build a wall (2006 secure fence act).

President passes executive order to build a wall.

Executive orders do not overrule a law, and if brought to court, are struck down if they conflict with the law.

Every president passes executive orders. This is literally what the president's job is - to direct the execut-ive branch to execute the laws passed by congress. Executive orders are part of that process.

You should ask Obama that question.

oh now they're unconstitutional when king nigger isnt doing it,

Obama was able to get votes together to get legislation passed. I don't see Trump being as effective doing that.

Don't make me get the rake.

They're orders he gives to his subordinates. They're not laws.

Its not unconstitutional to kick a bunch of illegals out.

well done, Monty

I'm not going to argue over the semantics about what is and isn't a law but
>unconstitutional
Look up Dame's & Moore v. Reagan
EOs are completely constitutional, although they are subject to judicial review.

Sometimes they're pretty decent laws.

Most of the time, they're symbolic garbage.

This past week's is warm up for the supreme court. They're gonna be striking down shit for 4 years.

>TFW you realize Trump is planning on overworking those liberal fucks on the supreme court so much that they croak and die and so he's issuing all this illegal shit.
