I will take you at face value.
This is complete bullshit, amounting to absolutely nothing. The companies that profit from selling us drugs will not just sit by idly while their profits dwindle. They spend billions of dollars on lawyers (to say nothing of buying politicians) and they will challenge the EO in court. It is plainly above and beyond the powers granted to the Executive in Article 2. They will win. This is nothing more than the worthless, fevered, narcissistic daydream of a grandiose cunt who cares not one whit for the common man.
FUCK, I can’t believe this is our fucking reality.
So executive orders are more just instructions? They don't hold any real power, or is it just more the fact that it can be openly fought by anyone? Guessing I don't fully understand how the executive order system works.
Executive orders hold as long as they aren’t overturned by one of the other 2 branches of govt. Congress can pass a law that’s contrary an EO and the prez can’t do shit (assuming the Senate has a veto-proof majority, 67 votes). The courts can also stay or overturn EOs if they’re found to be unconstitutional or in violation of laws. The next Prez can completely upend any standing EOs.

Kk, well with that info, yes I would have to agree. This feels like a very empty gesture.
