What recourse does Congress have against Executive Orders?

Is there any limitation on them such as the number of them or the timing of them? Can they be rejected some how? Can laws be passed to overruled/negate/nullify/outlaw them?

If not, then how is our presidency not a dictatorship even before Bush took office?

"Executive Orders" have no more legal authority
than they would if I wrote them.

ALL (and I mean, all...) the different ways to nullify every single article of law, and laws that were voted way before they even got Selected. I mean, all those "Institutes" and "think-tanks" and whatever their names R...

They've paid a whole lotta dough to all their bought and paid for "law-yers" for years in order to devise a sure way to circumvent all those "democratic" rules and... laws. Even Nixon didn't come close to their means in terms of financial resources. Nor did Reagan and poppy (although, that's about where their "plan to take over the U.S. of A.'s federal gov." and destroy it to the point they can replace it with a "modern-times" tyranny of the wealthy (oligarchy) got fired up).

They've studied all the flaws and designed a plan to take advantage of them all.

Worse: they've used our money to do it, and they have no intention to stop using it.

To stop using it is not in their "well-studied" plan$... :nuke:

Congress can pass a law invalidating an Executive Order or making the opposite of the Executive Order the law. The President still has to sign the law, or if he vetos it, the Congress has to override the veto by a 2/3 vote in each House.

Executive Orders have been challenged in the courts. In the history of the United States, only two have been overturned by the courts.

IMNSHO what has kept the United States from being a dictatorship in the past is the majority of folks in the government respected the Constitution and the rule of law. Even when Nixon fired independent special prosecutor Archibald Cox, members of Nixon's Justice Department resigned rather than carry out Nixon's order - - and Congress responded with numerous bills of impeachment.

although they didn't expect the last one would not be as successful as they planned, but they managed to keep their power through the use of vetos (and signing statements) so they could keep on their current destruction derby on the Constitution and the rule of law.

Sums it up clearly.

Now they expect to either steal the next round, or make the Dems appear to be so "deceptive" to their base (re: recent polls, although probably all biased...) that, comes the round, either they'll not be able to make a real significant "come back" or, they will just "suspend" the whole thing (claiming "supreme" exec. powers).

:mad:

that no one will violate it? That's nuts.

Are executive orders written into the constitution? Or did someone just make it up along the way and they stuck?
