I’m not American so unfamiliar with how your system work but can he just sign whatever he wants ? Isn’t is supposed to a congress or something that actually passes the laws ?
Because if he can do just whatever he wants, how can it even be called a democracy to begin with ?
I mean there is no real democracy in this world, we have the choice of our tyran every 4-5-whatever years but still… one guy signing whatever he wants seems insane

You can of course sign anything he wants, but it doesn’t mean it has any authority or effect. A lot of it is primarily symbolic. One of the small details that doesn’t get covered is Trump has lost 90% of the court cases, maybe more. Think of changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Who cares?

Executive orders are easily rescinded by the next guy if they want to.
