   Before tRump, executive orders were aimed at the internal affairs of   
   government, deciding how and to what degree legislation will be enforced.   
   tRump has used them to create new legislation.  It is the job of Congress   
   to create any new legislation, the President only decides how (not if) it   
   is implemented.
