An executive order in the United States is an order issued by the President, the head of the executive branch of the federal government. Executive Orders are generally orders to staff of the executive branch and not to citizens. Article I, Section 1 of the US Constitution specifically reserves all federal legislative authority to Congress, not the president. In other countries, executive edicts can serve a legislative function. Such edicts may be known as decrees, or orders-in-council.

That is how it is supposed to work.

So does this reminder tell us that the EPA has NO RIGHT to place RULES, or LAWS upon all of us that has not passed the house and senate? Can we refuse to obey laws issued by the EPA?

The EPA is not run by elected officials to congress. It is an arm of the executive branch-right? Like the FCC and on and on and on. Like the TSA-where do they get the RIGHT to enforce laws made under homeland security? THat is a cabinet post-not an elected congress.
