    This is only technically true. He’s found a loophole where he makes an obviously illegal order, and that order is in effect for months before it is struck down, and then he can just make a new order like he’s doing right now with tariffs. He keeps getting away with it because the legislative branch is complicit.

    What happens if he declares that to prevent voter fraud, voters need to prove eligibility in a way that prevents poor people, or people who have changed names, or people who live in a home owned by somebody else, or nationalized citizens, or people living in selectively restricted voting districts, or people who have a skin tone inaccurately recognized by specifically choosen facial recognition software, or people who are “accidentally” detected to be inactive voters, or people who are just afraid of being disappeared by ICE from voting, and it is enforced long enough to impact the election? Will he finally be thrown out of office before the election? If not, will the people illegally prevented from voting have their votes counted after the order is struck down? Would those people be able to vote before some other illegal order goes into effect or would elections and their results be constantly delayed?
