An Executive Order isn't a law.
Post Body

There are people assuming and saying out loud that Trump is rewriting US law. An example is the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1965. The word Act is the clue that it was passed by Congress and became law when it was signed by the President at the time. The President is the Chief Executive officer of the Executive branch only. He can influence or control the manner in which the EEOA is implemented in the executive branch agencies but the EEOA is still the law of the land.

Note how easy it was to rescind some of Biden's Executive Orders and his are reversible too when the next President takes office. That's not the way actual laws and constitutional amendments work. The only way to repeal the 14th constitutional Amendment guaranteeing birthright citizenship (which he may or may not actually believe he can do) is for two thirds of both houses of Congress and three fourths of the states to agree. That's a high bar. Let's not give him powers that he doesn't have.
