Congress has 30 days to nullify this EO - Correct?

That would still be a matter ONLY for the executive branch.

According to the Constitution, only Congress can make laws. The President simply cannot. Also, Congress cannot delegate lawmaking.

I believe there was one executive order that congress recently nullified. I don’t recall at the moment what it was, but I do remember Michele Bachmann talking about it.

Anyone recall that?

“According to the Constitution, only Congress can make laws. The President simply cannot. Also, Congress cannot delegate lawmaking.”

If congress doesn’t object within a certain time period, an Executive Order becomes law.
