      Can Congress override an Executive Order?

      There are three main branches of the American government: the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch. Each of these branches has specific powers and responsibilities that they are responsible for. One of the most important aspects of the executive branch is the power to issue executive orders. Executive orders are directives from the President that tell federal agencies how to implement or enforce laws. In this blog post, we will discuss whether Congress can override an executive order.

      The Challenges and Opportunities of Global Governance

      By Sean Spicer, White House Press Secretary @ twitter – Caption; Picture URL, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=57149033

      Can Congress overturn an Executive Order?

      Congress can overturn an executive order by using “legislative action – such as cutting off funding – to gum up the president’s intentions” [Source]. Congress has the power to revoke, modify, or supersede an executive order [Source].

      Who has the Power to overrule an Executive Order?

      The president, Congress, and the Courts can overrule an executive order.

      Who can stop the President’s Executive Order?

      The president has the power to revoke, modify, or supersede any executive order. Congress and the Courts can also do the same but using different procedures.

      What are the Limitations of an Executive Order?

      “Presidential executive orders, once issued, remain in force until they are canceled, revoked, adjudicated unlawful, or expire on their terms” [Source]. Furthermore, “At any time, the president may revoke, modify or make exceptions from any executive order, whether the current president or a predecessor made the order”. 

      What Power does an Executive Order have?

      The president gives an executive order using his authority as head of the executive branch, “directing a federal official or administrative agency to engage in the course of action or refrain from a course of action” [Source]. Governors can also give out executive orders in their own right. Political analysts say an executive order has the same power as a federal law [Source].

      What happens after the President signs an Executive Order?

      After the president signs an executive order, “the White House sends it to the Office of the Federal Register (OFR). The OFR numbers each order consecutively as part of a series and published it in the daily Federal Register shortly after receipt” [Source]. The order will remain in force until it is cancelled, revoked, adjudicated unlawful or expire on its term. An executive order takes effect after 30 days of being published. 

      What is the difference between a Law and an Executive Order?

      The difference between a law and an executive order is that a law would have been passed and approved by Congress, the legislature, and the president. In contrast, the president rolls out an executive order using his authority. The power of an executive order is equated to that of federal law, but a federal would have passed through legislature proceedings. Once rolled out, an executive order might expire, but a law may not expire. An executive order can be revoked or canceled by the president, while a law will require voting in Congress for it to be amended or removed.

      What can the President do without Congressional approval?

      An executive can still be rolled out without congressional approval. But Congress can revoke or cancel it if it is found unlawful or cannot be defended using the Constitution. 

      Do Executive Orders have the force of law?

      Executive orders do carry with them power with is likened to that of federal law [Source]

      Do Executive Orders become law immediately?

      The Christian Science Monitor revealed that “When a president signs an executive order, it can be a quick way to enact a federal policy” [Source]. An executive order comes into effect after thirty days of being published. It can become a law if the president, Congress or Courts do not revoke it.

      What happens if you don’t follow an Executive Order?

      An executive order is as powerful as a federal law, so disobeying an executive order is similar to breaking the law. This may draw a fines, penalties, imprisonment or closure of a business or organization [Source], depending on the executive’s punishment for those who defy it. 

      How are Executive Orders different from laws?

      Executive orders are different from laws because most of them affect people in government and not the general populace, but laws can affect the general public. Also, disobeying an executive order may either land one in jail or not, while many laws carry prison sentences or fines if one disobeys. Laws are passed after Congress approves, and legislature proceedings would have been followed whilst a president gives out an executive order in his own right. To revoke or cancel a law, there is a need for Congress to agree and vote, but an executive order can be revoked or cancelled by the president or successor or by Congress and the Courts. An executive order may or may not become a law.

      Do Executive Orders preempt state law?

      Executive orders are given out by the president in line with the Constitution requirements and have to be lawful. It is noted that “Executive Orders also must be ‘valid’ to preempt state law” [Source].

      Does Congress have to follow Executive Orders?

      Since executive orders come from the head of the executive branch, Congress has to follow executive orders as long as they are deemed lawful and take effect and have not been revoked or canceled.

      What are the limitations of Executive Orders?

      Limitations of executive orders are related to how they mostly affect people in government and come into effect after 30 days of being published. More so, these orders have to be aligned with the Constitution’s demands and be regarded as lawful by the Constitution. They can be revoked by the president who gave them out or a successor; even Congress and courts can revoke them if they are unlawful. An executive order can have a term limit and expire after the term is completed. 

      Which Presidential Power can be directly restricted by Congress?

      Congress can directly restrict the appointing of cabinet members [Source].

      What happens after an Executive Order is signed?

      After an executive order is signed, the president gives it to the White House administration, which sends it to the Federal Register, and the Federal Register assigns a number to it before publishing it in the daily Federal Register. The executive order comes into effect after 30 days of being published. It will only survive if it is not revoked or canceled by the president, Congress, or the Courts. 

      Do Executive agreements require Senate approval?

      “Executive agreements do not require the Senate’s approval” [Source].

      How many Executive Orders have been overturned?

      It is unclear how many executive orders were overturned since there are unnumbered executive orders [Source]

      Is an Executive Order by a governor a law?

      “An executive order is a declaration by the president or a governor which has the force of law, usually based on existing statutory powers” [Source], so an executive order by a governor can either become law or not, depending on the intention behind it.
