“President Donald Trump’s team made little effort to consult with federal
agency lawyers or lawmakers as they churned out executive actions this
week, stoking fears the White House is creating the appearance of real
momentum with flawed orders that might be unworkable, unenforceable or
even illegal…Inside the West Wing, it is almost impossible for some aides to know
what is in the executive orders, staffers say. They have been written by
Stephen Miller, Trump’s senior White House adviser for policy, and
Steve Bannon, Trump’s chief strategist, according to people familiar
with the matter. Ideas for some of the Trump executive orders came from
transition officials and so-called “landing teams,” sources say, who
weren’t working in the White House. “
I don’t know how factual all of this is, but if the idea that Steve Bannon is writing executive orders for Trump to sign with his fancy pens doesn’t terrify you, I don’t know what possibly could.
Trump’s flashy executive actions could run aground
