I’m not though. They’re truly different things and I promise I’m not arguing in bad faith.

The differences I mentioned are material, especially that an executive order cannot arbitrarily criminalize something.

I hate to be the Akshually guy but they’re truly not laws. They’re directives for the federal agencies under the control of the executive branch. They have the " force of law " (assuming they’re aligned with the constitutional authority of the president) but they’re not laws.

They don’t create crimes, do budgets, or override congress.
