  Unfortunately, our inept Congress decided over the years to cede so much of their governing ability to the president. I'm not a constitutional lawyer, but my understanding is that executive authority is quite vast and grows each year.

    I mean yeah, they might be able to arrest someone. The unfortunate aspect is that it is now up to the arrested person to tell the judge that they were arrested because of an executive order which only applies to the rules that govern federal agencies - and that they, and higher courts alone can overturn that order (or the act of arrest due to the order).

      Which is probably a blocker for a large number of people. That would very much mess with my family as I don't have anyone to help with my kids while I'm indisposed. It also makes it awkward for companies to accept donations on his behalf which will lessen access to many people. This stuff is never to block all transactions, it's to limit them to only a few and cut the flow substantially.
