EXECUTIVE ORDERS?

******************************
******************************

Okay, I ain't no lawyer, so I reckon I'm a bit confused.

According to the Constitution of the United States of America, "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives."

So, where does the President of the United States of America get any authority to issue "Executive Orders"?

Is an Executive Order issued by a President of the United States of America a "LAW", equal to legislation enacted by Congress?

If it's illegal for the President to do that, then why doesn't the Supreme Court or the Congress do something to stop him?

If the President can enact laws by issuing an Executive Order, then why does Congress exist?

Shouldn't Congress enact legislation to nullify and repeal ANY and ALL executive orders issued by any President?

Anyway, here's a list of Executive Orders that I saw posted on BLUE'S BLOG, which he obtained from the AMERICAN FREE PRESS web site.

I don't know when these Executive Orders were issued, nor which President issued them.

But, scholars and legal experts can research it further, if any are interested or motivated, although I doubt any of them are.
