It’s not a law, Charlie! It’s called an executive order,
... Don’t tell me that Charlie doesn’t know that.

These executive orders are simply printed in the Federal Register.
After 30 days, these orders become law and carry the full impact
of any laws passed by Congress.

"After 30 days, these orders become law and carry the full impact of any laws passed by Congress."

Not true.

Executive orders only affect the Executive Branch.

The Supreme Court Case when Truman tried to take over the steel industry clearly said that only Congress can make a law.

Supreme Court case about Executive Orders---

Youngstown Co. v. Sawyer, 343 U.S. 579 (1952)

Quote from case --- ".....In the framework of our Constitution, the President's power to see that the laws are faithfully executed refutes the idea that he is to be a lawmaker.

"The Constitution limits his functions in the lawmaking process to the recommending of laws he thinks wise and the vetoing of laws he thinks bad. And the Constitution is neither silent nor equivocal about who shall make laws which the President is to execute. The [343 U.S. 579, 588] first section of the first article says that "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States . . . ." After granting many powers to the Congress, Article I goes on to provide that Congress may "make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof." ...."[bold added"
