If Republicans have control of all three branches of government, then why even write the executive order?
This is not about power. It’s about obscuring his actions by circumventing legislation, while attempting to keep Congress’s hands clean. It’s the same reason the ‘newly headless’ DOGE is the office taking action.
An executive order can be challenged by Congress or declared unconstitutional by the courts. Until then, our entire government is complicit is his actions.
