Executive orders bypass the Constitution…
America is not a kingdom but rather a system of limited government where rule of law, meaning, the Constitution, guides — not mob mentality (DEMOCRACY), or worse, fear — and public servants are just that: beholden to the citizenry. Executive orders bypass that system. They are not duly passed laws by elected representatives of the people. They are not pieces of legislation that are openly debated and discussed and voted upon in ways that keep the elected accountable to the people.
They don’t give the voter the chance to express yay or nay; they don’t allow the people to hold the ultimate power.

Executive Orders
President Abraham Lincoln suspended the writ of habeas corpus during the Civil War using executive orders in 1861. Lincoln cited his powers under the Constitution’s Suspension Clause, which states, “the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion and invasion the public safety may require it.”
Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger Taney, in his role as a federal circuit judge, ruled that Lincoln’s executive order was unconstitutional in a decision called Ex Parte Merryman. Lincoln and the Union army ignored Taney, and Congress didn’t contest Lincoln’s habeas corpus decisions.
Two other executive orders comprised Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation. Lincoln was fearful that the Emancipation Proclamation would be overturned by Congress or the courts after the war’s end, since he justified the proclamation under his wartime powers. The ratification of the 13th Amendment ended that potential controversy.
President Franklin Roosevelt established internment camps during World War II using Executive Order 9066. Roosevelt also used an executive order to create the Works Progress Administration… ETC…

(Bloomberg
Businessweek) -- Imagine it’s Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner, the one where
the entire extended family shows up. There’s a little corner of the long dinner
table where you put the relatives most likely to be awkward, so they can chat
among themselves. You know who they are, the uncle and cousins who go on rants
about Trump’s righteous war against an international cabal of pedophiles or
Hillary Clinton’s imminent arrest. Everyone else in the family remembers the
stir that corner caused when they claimed that Tom Hanks had a sex slave. No
one with any sense took them seriously. Picking a fight would sap your energy
and divide the clan.
