I don’t accept that definition. Any order by the executive is an executive order.
Well you don’t have to accept the formal legal definition of “executive order” but that is what it actually is. You can’t really pick and choose which definitions you like and don’t like. That is what an “executive order” is. It is a formal legal term - called a “legal term of art”. You’re not accepting that doesn’t change it.
You are probably confusing “enforcement of the law” (the job of the executive branch) with “executive order”. They are two different things.
