The Argument
According to Article II, the president must “take care that the laws be faithfully executed,”[1] This has often been accomplished through the use of executive orders. Of course, this ability is thoroughly checked by Congress and Federal Courts who may strike orders they find to exceed the President's scope of rule.[2]
