Aren't Executive Orders limited by the laws passed by Congress giving
the Executive the power?

I do believe that the Supreme Court would be most interested in the
executive branch rescinding something that the legislative branch
enacted.


Executive Order.

Sure, Mike, it's not impossible. But it will probably take a
presidential rescinding of the stupid EPA laws to get it done.

No. Executive Orders are orders issued to one or more
Executive agencies. However, an executive order cannot
conflict with or nullify any existing law passed by
Congress.

Isn't the answer then yes as the Executive branch is always limited by
the law.

They're limited by law if law exists, and of course they're
always bound by the Constitution. Most Executive Orders
cover matters where there is no law on a specific topic.
