As for uh an executive order that is based on constitutional authority, um, Truman gives us an example.
When Truman desegregated the armed forces in nineteen forty eight, he did so through an executive order.
And how did he do that?
He said his authority came not just from federal statutes, but from his authority as commander in chief.
Right, right.
That makes the most sense to me.
Right.
Now a big aspect of Trump's second term is just the sheer number of executive orders that he has issued.
Um so to give you a sense, in his first term, Trump issued two hundred and twenty executive orders total.
So far, it's just December of twenty twenty five.
In his second term, Trump has issued at least, I think, two hundred and eighteen.
That was as of October.
of course the first year isn't even over yet.
Right.
Um, and I know there was another one just yesterday.
Um, some of these are just ordinary or they seem to be symbolic, but others have tried to dramatically change how we understand how the federal government works.
So targeting law firms that represent Democrats, ending climate and energy initiatives, freezing foreign aid, and of course ending birthright citizenship.
Now, just because the present issues an executive order doesn't mean it's legal, of course, and dozens of Trump's executive orders have already been challenged in court.
Well, the easiest way is when a later president revokes the executive order.
Okay.
