Congress need not return to Washington at all.

We now have a King, making Law by decree.

“We now have a King, making Law by decree.”

It is time to rein in the President’s use of Executive Orders. And they must have an expiration date...no later than the end if the term in office, even if he is reelected Ex-Orders issued in the first term should be mandated to expire at the end of that first term. Still needed? He has to reissue it.

Also, all Executive Orders should have to be approved by Congress with in 90 days of being issued. Not approved in 90 days? They immediately expire.

Congress needs to address the whole issue of Executive Orders, with clear definition of what an Executive Order can mandate. Executive Orders give the President defacto legislative authority that the Constitution does not grant.
