review not authorize It ‘s technical, but accurate
No, it is indeed ‘authorize’ in his capacity,
All the federal government heads and directors get their legal orders signed by the Attorney General.
The AG is authorizing the order to be carried out.
It’s like the field marshal telling his field commander to “fire at will!” The Field commander then carries it out by giving the orders to the battle groups.
Understand the context, the AG is not ‘authorizing’ the President’s order, he is authorizing the federal government to carry it out.
If there are delays or blocks, the AG will hold the order in suspense until a resolution is reached.
The AG will write letters to all department heads and agency directors with specifics for how the President’s order will be carried out, what department will do what, what agency will assist in what capacity, etc.
If the AG does not do this, he or she will likely be fired.
When AG Barr signs his specific orders, his signature is the ‘authorization’ for the chain of command to get to work on it. The department heads and agency directors are not all getting letters direct form the President.
