I'm sure. He plans to trash Dodd-Frank and I think the EO provides for exemptions for the military and defense (small wonder for an avowed fascist like Trump).

I have been trying to understand the scope and power of EO's. What are they really, or at least what are they supposed to be? From what I understand, in the base legal concept, and Executive Order is an Order signed by the POTUS. It is strictly limited to the executive branch of he government. It is like a policy or vision statement on how the executive branch will act or function. They are not supposed to carry the weight to make or change laws.Of course this is strictly from the "base theoretical" concept, With precedent law and the current environment, they seem to have much more power than they should.
