That's exactly right. And then there's a school of thought that says he doesn't really want to do this. It's a negotiating tactic, right?

The answer is it depends because some of these executive orders have the force of law because they are within the purview of the executive branch. Tariffs with some nuance generally fall under that category. Some of them are just sort of notional, you know, or just aren't a very big deal. Things like

proclaiming that from now on the flags will always fly at full staff during presidential inaugurations. Some of them are pardons. That can't be undone. The president has a wide-ranging unilateral pardon authority. And then some of them are not within the president's authority or at least not believed to be within the president's authority.

More than 100 years have held that that is guaranteed by the Constitution. And so there's already lawsuits around it, including from a lot of state attorneys general.
