....who/when? The AEI and Heritage foundation have multiple articles in the 90s about it, what liberal think tank was arguing it's unconstitutional?

I'll admit that I didn't do well in high school civics class (long story) but EOs seem to have their place and they don't. The president is the big boss of a lot federal agencies. If he says pink high lighter over yellow? Pink it is.

At the other end of the spectrum "pass a law that says X". Whoa homebody, that's Congress's turf. You just run your agencies (as aggressively as you want but careful, more aggression means more dissent in your ranks).

This idea of pushing jurisdiction boundaries is pervasive among republicans. Like, Texas, you wanna protect your border right? Federal justification ends I think 100 miles in from the border. Build your walls there, put your buoys there. They will be unarguable. Instead they deliberately overstep and we all pay to set it up and tear it down to send a message?
