This authority is from Communications Act of 1934 and is basically a continuation of EOs dating back to the 80s.

He doesn’t need congressional approval for anything. Once upon a time, presidents did...but in the new United States of Africa, Odinga/Mugabe/the African dictator of your choice reincarnated in Obama can do whatever he wants.

And he can also take $100 million dollar vacations whenever he and his retinue want, thank you.

You don't remember the Klintoonistas bragging about "Stroke of the pen, law of the land, kind of neat, Huh?" An EO can the overridden by a majority vote of the Senate but then the slavish RATs run the Senate.

Don’t worry yourself. The Congress will approve it.

He owns them, Lock, Stock, and barrel.

Der Fuehrer don't need no stinkin' approval.

All your Constitutional Amendments and Bill of Rights belong to him. And the Politburo. And his New Red Army.
