If they get the Presidency in 2 years it will happen by executive order. If they get the Presidency, they'll likely retain both Houses of Congress as well. They won't need to use executive authority. Laws are more permanent and harder to change, especially with regard to the enforcement bureaucracy they create.

"They won't need to use executive authority."
I was thinking beyond that. I was thinking about who the next President will appoint to the USSC. Remember there are three who will probably go out in the next 8 years. A current USSC might overturn an unconstitutional muzzle on free speech, but an executive order could trump that.
