My understanding is, the president can’t order the FAA head to do anything. But he can issue an executive order for something to be done (ground a certain plane). That’s what I read what he did. BUT I tried looking up the executive order; couldn’t find one on federalregister.gov.

I doubt you actually read that. There was no reporting in the mainstream press of any executive order.

  > I doubt you actually read that. There was no reporting in the mainstream press of any executive order. This is incorrect. Simply Googling '737 max executive order' turns up multiple hits. This doesn't mean there was an actual order, however. [1] https://www.google.com/search?q=+executive+order+737+max https://www.google.com/search?q=+executive+order+737+max

    Maybe he thinks if the executive issues an order, that is an executive order? There’s a chance I believe that with this administration.

    There definitely wasn't an executive order, as is made crystal clear if you actually click through on a few of those hits.
