Good morning! I have a question. We think that the pubs may win back both the House and the Senate. And since, Caligula loves using Executive Orders, I suspect that he will use EOs even more.

These are my questions:

1. Are there limits to what he can order via EO?
2. What are those limitations?
3. How long do EOs remain in place?
4. Are there Congressional overrides to EOs?

The drill has just now broken through to the Chilean miners.

I think a 2/3 vote will override.

I don't think there is a limit on his perogative to make EOs.

Perhaps a Republican majority in Congress can nullify some of them by not funding them. At least, let's hope so.

If we vote enough pubs into office to take the prize, they must NOT get wobbly.

I believe the answers to 1 and 2 are that an EO is only limited by the Constitution. It cannot violate the Constitution or it is null and void.

As far as the time frame in 3, I believe an EO remains in place until it self-defines a time limit, but I am certain that any future president can rescind it, just as easily as a previous president signed it.

I have no idea if Congress can override it.

I asked my Congressman about deleting ALL of the muslim’s EOs and he told me it was up to congress. I told him hopefully congress would delete them all.
