Does anyone here know whether *any* EO can be reversed by another EO? (Original Post) intrepidity Nov 2020 OP

I believe every single EO can be reversed on days 1, 2, etc. nt Guy Whitey Corngood Nov 2020 #4

Some cannot - but they were authorized by laws. NutmegYankee Nov 2020 #7

So the effects of an EO while it was in force cannot necessarily be reversed. Klaralven Nov 2020 #9
Exactly. No new executive order can undo the resulting obesity of the chief executive in question. beastie boy Nov 2020 #17

Any thoughts on which of Trump's EOs might be similarly difficult to undo? nt intrepidity Nov 2020 #14

Yes, an Executive Order is a permanent record and it is never altered, however... Brother Buzz Nov 2020 #18

And will be very soon, but may not matter if its exposed trump wasn't a legitimate president. Everything he did would be reversed, even all his appointments.

An example is the pay raise for Federal employees - the law allows the President to implement an alternative pay raise by EO if Congress has not set one in the budget bills.

If the Chief Executive orders three double cheeseburgers, large fries and two scoops of ice cream, anf he eats it all, that executive order cannot be reversed. Pretty much everything else is reversible.

The courts said he did it wrong. At least Biden's administration would follow proper procedure.

I think the supreme court DACA case covered this. DACA was an executive order by obama and trump tried to end it. Supreme court said you just can't arbitrarily end a thing because there's a law that says rules have to be made a certain way.

That would be sweet. One stroke of President Biden’s pen and everything Trump did disappears.

a new Executive Order can change it; "....replaces and revokes Executive Order XXXXXX" is something often seen in Executive Orders.
