Undated: What is the difference between an executive order issued by the President and a law?

There are three main types of law in US federal governance; The Constitution, statute law, and rules and regulations. Executive orders are a specific kind of rules from that last category.

The Constitution is the highest law, which means that laws from the other categories cannot contradict the Constitution or they will be declared null and void. It takes a 2/3rds majority in both houses of the US Congress, a signature from the President, and consent from 3/4ths of the state legislatures to amend the Constitution.

Executive orders are a kind of rules-and-regulations law authored by the President and binding only on employees of the US federal executive (about four million people). These orders cannot defy the Constitution or statute law, and usually detail how the President intends for government to implement congressionally-authored programs.

May 11: While conservatives did challenge many of former President Barack Obama’s policies on immigration and healthcare, experts say the sheer number of lawsuits Trump is facing — and the success they are having so far — is what’s unprecedented. ... Some experts say the pace of litigation against the administration is the result of Trump’s heavy use of executive orders. ... “The Democratic Party and their constituents have decided their byword is going to be ‘resist,’ ” he [John Malcolm, director of the Heritage Foundation’s Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies] said. “No matter what the president proposes, they will do everything they can to thwart him, including resorting to the courts.”

April 11: Trump’s Executive Order On ‘Welfare’ Doesn’t Do Anything — At Least Not Yet ... The order is more about messaging than policy in the short term.

President Donald Trump signed an
executive order
on Tuesday that ostensibly cracks down on loafing among welfare recipients.

The order itself will have no immediate effect on any program or benefit. Like many other executive orders before, all it does is direct agencies to review their policies and eventually make suggestions.
