Executive Orders:

Every American must understand that all issued by the executive branch of government Executive Orders (EO's) do not carry the force of law.

1. The words executive order does not appear in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights or in any other foundation document of the Republic.

2. The Constitution is explicit:
Article I Section 1: 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.

3. Original EO's by all presidents prior to FDR did not deal with law, or the making of law, they dealt with matters of executive administration.

4. From FDR forward EO's have been used illegally to make law.

5. The citizens of the republic need not obey laws illegally instituted.

6. Duties of the president are outlined in:
Article II Section 2 Paragraph 2: He shall have Power with the Advice and Consent of the Senate . . .
Article II Section 3: He shall from time to time give to the congress Information of the state of the Union, and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient. . . .

The above quoted sections of the constitution clearly and decisively prohibit the executive branch of government form making law. It is your duty as a citizen of the Republic to demand compliance with the laws of the land from your elected officials.
