    He can do it, but it won’t matter. EOs directed at something outside of the Executive Branch are basically just announcements.

      They are still getting followed.

      His shit about trans women in women’s sports got Lia Thomas’s records stripped from her, and I doubt any school is going to allow trans women to play anything in the future.

        Well, the Department of Education is a part of the Executive Branch, so the NCAA has a financial incentive to go along with Trump’s EOs or lose funding.

        I’m not saying that EOs are completely toothless, and I’m also not saying that he won’t try. I’m just saying that they can’t do absolutely anything; and specifically, they can’t directly impact the Judiciary.
