The article critiques the reliance on executive orders by President Trump, arguing that while his objectives may align with necessary changes, the methods undermine lasting reforms. The author emphasizes the instability of executive orders, as new presidents can easily rescind their predecessors' directives. This short-term approach is juxtaposed with the need for legislative involvement to create enduring policies, highlighting missed opportunities for sustainable governance and a stronger democratic process that includes elected representation.
Executive orders don’t produce lasting reforms. They’re only as permanent as the president who issues them, leading to an instability that undermines effective governance.
Trump is making sweeping changes in policy that will significantly alter life in America and is doing so without engaging the legislative branch, sidelining democratically elected representatives.
