Exactly! An EO becomes law 90 days after it's published in the Federal Register ... unless there are objections by Congress. Then it's subject to the standard reversal process. EO's have been stopped before. Their real strength lies in slipping one in under the radar and keeping it undetected. Clinton slipped in PDD 25 which was a classified EO that dealt with (supposedly) American involvement in UN Deployments for "Peace Keeping," but although officially declassified in 2009, the Congress still hasn't been able to see it. The point is that the real threat of any EO is if it's classified under national security. We can't fight what we can't see. Just like Health Care.

Hello, Congress, if POTUS can rule by EO we don’t need you guys at all!

That alone should have them stopping this kind of thing because believe me that not needing congress thing already has a lot of traction. They would be even bigger fools than they’ve already shown themselves if they allow more fuel on that fire.
