“Further, as long as it is not constitutionally based, Congress may repeal a presidential order, or terminate the underlying authority upon which the action is predicated.”

Great research. It is very intuitive; if the president oversteps his constitutional authority, then Congress can bat it down. Otherwise, without hyperbole, we have a dictatorship, and a confederacy of fools in Congress to let it stand. If I remember correctly, the Constitution gives Congress the authority to set aside Supreme Court rulings.

I’ll have to correct my own post. There is some clause in the Constitution that gives Congress the authority to limit the Supreme Court in its rulings, not necessarily the authority to reverse a ruling.
