How does executive action work?

Executive action refers to the steps taken by the President or other executive officials to implement laws and policies without requiring new legislation from Congress. This can include issuing executive orders, memoranda, or directives that have the force of law. While executive actions can effectively manage government operations and address specific issues, they can also be challenged in court or reversed by subsequent administrations. Ultimately, the scope and impact of executive actions depend on their alignment with existing laws and constitutional authority.
