US politics - never go full Project 2025 (part 8)

Just because he signs an EO doesn’t mean it happens. It can be for show.

With an executive
order, President Trump can order the federal government to take any steps that are within the scope of the constitutional authority of the executive branch, and do not violate any federal law.

The Constitution has a set of checks and balances written into it so that no one branch of the government is more powerful than the other. The president can’t use an executive order to sidestep those checks and balances, and the president can’t take over powers from other branches, such as the power vested in Congress to pass new statutes or in the courts to invalidate certain laws as unconstitutional.

To be fair, Trump has shown that is not true.
He’s blatantly ignoring court orders to stop deportations, and nobody is raising a finger to stop him.

He’s really, demonstrably, not.

Cutting battlefield intelligence to UKR command is the opposite of the bullshit he keeps proclaiming.

So if it is merely stirring up hatred, it’s OK?

You’re not helping.

There is a case about deportation happening now that is important to remember his.

It might set the bar.

Google’s record-breaking $32 billion acquisition of Wiz

Google has signed a definitive agreement to acquire New York-based cloud security firm Wiz for $32 billion in cash, making it the company’s largest acquisition to date. The deal is expected to close in 2026, pending regulatory approvals.

Wiz, founded in 2020 by former Israeli intelligence officers, has grown rapidly, reaching $750 million in annual revenue with clients such as BMW, Salesforce, and Slack. Google plans to integrate Wiz’s security platform to enhance its multicloud capabilities and compete with Microsoft and Amazon in cloud services.

When he signs an Executive Order, it is legally binding on those coming within the scope of the Order, pending a judicial ruling to the contrary.
Refusal to obey an Executive Order would be a crime.
They aren’t mere ANNOUNCES.

What?? Slow down mate.

I am just pointing out an EO isn’t gospel. There is a process which is about to be tested.

The danger comes when people believe them repost them as truth.

It needs to be approved by congress. It’s not law.

But because Congress is so ■■■■ and has such a low approval rating he pushing to see his limits and when he actually gets challenged.

Trump waves his bit if paper around. People believe it as law. People use it to be pigs.

He doesn’t even need to go through congress.

That’s part of the issue.

Whipping a dead hobby horse. Can we have another pandemic please?

I’ll post the polling results soon. Lots to discuss.

Executive Orders don’t require Congressional approval!! Congress doesn’t have the power to rule on their validity.

Do two exclamation marks qualify as hysterical? Dangerously close I fear.

If it keeps a certain poster too busy to post in this thread I’m all for it.

Wrong.

Executive orders are not legislation; they require no approval from Congress, and Congress cannot simply overturn them. Congress may pass legislation that might make it difficult, or even impossible, to carry out the order, such as removing funding. Only a sitting U.S. President may overturn an existing executive order by issuing another executive order to that effect.
