When a president signs an executive order, it becomes law unless Congress overrides it in 90 days after he put it in the Federal register. Same for signing statements.

It isn’t new.

And it has to be something dealing with the executive branch. But there are about 15,000 ways that Twitter and Fakebook and Google cross paths with the executive branch.
I know you hate Trump, but he is on very solid ground to regulate the absolute living hell outta them.

Congress can override an executive order with a simple majority vote, though the President can veto it. Only then would it take a two-thirds vote. Courts can also strike them down as unconstitutional.

Don't know a whole lot apparently.

I think you are confusing an executive order with a regulation issued by a department or agency. Congress can’t override an exec order, but they can take it to court.
