An EO is used to execute laws.
That meaning that only those that execute laws are impacted by an EO.
Employees of the Executive branch execute laws made by the legislative branch.
The People, being those that placed the Executive as supervisor over the Branch, do not have to abide by any directives in an EO.
In times of war and declared emergencies (of both, we are in), the Executive can legislate (take the place of the Legislature) and citizens are bound to it until such time the declaration is ended.

I was hoping a lawfag would chime in, thanks. Yup, national emergency, secure national elections certainly fall under that, especially if influenced by foreign countries - ie foreign naiontals voting. What war are we in?
