A policy applied to federal agencies on the whims of the executive/administration (president+staff). (FBI, CIA, DHS, ICE, TSA, HHS, FDA, so forth…)
Does not impact state law, judicials, or enforcement agencies. Though many of these do take their lead from federal guidelines to some degree, especially at the police and sheriff level.
This will be sued over constitutionality in the courts
Stacked courts will probably claim it’s constitutional
Up to Congress to specifically and independently say it’s unconstitutional. This Congress will probably not do that
IF there’s another election, and the term limit is still adhered to, the next administration may chose to revoke it or alter it assuming they have differing policies.
I’m trying to wrap my head around how executive orders work. I’m not American.
Can someone explain what’s the legal process compared to a bill for example?

Rinse and repeat.
