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.
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.

They aren’t mere ANNOUNCES.
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.
