With the filibuster in place there is no normal way to get Trumps EOs into law because it takes 60 Senate votes and there are not enough Senate Republicans. More EOs will need to be put into a budget reconciliation bill like they have done before. That only takes a majority in the House and Senate to pass.

U.S. Senate (.gov)
https://www.senate.gov › senators
Majority Party: Republicans (53 seats) • Minority Party: Democrats (45 seats) • Other Parties: Independents (2 seats)

The have a chance to get things right if they apply pressure on what the democrats will lose if the don’t when their bills come up for a vote?.
