Dunno. All i know is that eo’s are orders for federal employees, they are not representative passed laws.

An executive order is how the president sets operations in the executive department. It is not a law, although a court can accept it as “evidence of law” provided it does not contradict any other law. Executive orders are subject to legal review, and the Supreme Court or lower federal courts can nullify, or cancel, an executive order if they determine it is unconstitutional. Similarly, Congress can revoke an executive order by passing a new actual law.
