Fred should pass some campaign finance laws
Then why did you say "pass" in your original post?

Boy, you really do need that civics book. EO's are subject to review by Congress.

Congress may overturn an executive order by passing legislation in conflict with it or by refusing to approve funding to enforce it. In the former, the president retains the power to veto such a decision; however, the Congress may override a veto with a two-thirds majority to end an executive order.

Try again.
