he will be throwing those EO's out like he wants to do as much damage to our country as he can

That fear is what has prompted my discussion. Since he writes EOs already, you KNOW he'll be doing it even more when his party isn't in power in the Congress.

Further reading of the article on Wikipedia points to clauses within Article II which can be interpreted for EOs. It is to allow for the smooth implementation of bills already passed. Wikipedi lists two ways an EO can be overridden, by a super majority, which has happened only twice so far, and by refusing to fund. Further, EOs expire only when rescinded by a subsequent president.

It looks like I was correct on the expiration of an EO being rescinded by a subsequent president. I assume a super majority is 2/3rds or is it 3/4? Well as far as defunding is concerned, I'm not sure it matters if an EO doesn't require funding in the first place. I don't see where EO 13489 would require any funding, unless it takes funding to bar people seeking to reveal his records to the American people.

Obviously he has something very incriminating to hide from the American people who voted for him and didn't vote for him. I wonder what he is hiding?

I want the next real president to rescind that thing and expose him. And then I want the entire CRAT party to be held accountable to America for doing that to us.
