Write it up in a word document, print it, make a "stroke of the pen" to it with flair on national TV, say some mellifluous words to the same effect, and call it the "law of the land".

That's how.

Simple: 0dinga simply picks up a pen, writes such an executive order, and signs it.

That little "Constitution" thing you're thinking of won't do you a bit of good at 0300 when the BATFags show up at your back door.
