But with this specific bill, is there anything specifically unconstitutional in it? The only thing I see when I read over it are recommendations for actual health benefits. I don't see anything in there regarding law enforcement. At the very worst, it seems like psychological manipulation into making people healthier.
Do I really need to explain to you that an Executive Order is not a Bill, and that The POTUS does not have the legal authority to legislate? Dear God what has happened to this country?

Lol, okay. Calm down. My point still stands. Is there anything in this - excuse me - Executive Order - that is actually nefarious? Okay, so only Congress can create legislation. And true, Executive Orders are not in the Constitution. So technically this is unconstitutional. But there are about a hundred thousand unconstitutional elements in DC, currently. I've heard figures that on average, 58 EOs are issued every year by the president.
So again - is there anything specifically prescribed in this EO that is unconstitutional or nefarious, or is it just the fact that EOs are unconstitutional? I agree with the latter at least.

ther is no EO atm this is atm a fiction written by a blog site. No writer has even taken credit for the article. Nothing on gov't sites or EO lists. I said earlier that this is fiction and the source is questionable.
