Not much to discuss. Once again he's using an excutive order to bypass congress, the law and The Constitution.

I can barely understand that legalese doubletalk. Like that retarded monkey could. New rule: Presidential edicts must be written BY the President. Citizens should be able to enforce that rule- the President should be accountable to us because we elected him.

Oh wait...

Hrmmm... It seems to me that it is written to give more authority to have the government sieze moneys nad propertys of peoples not in the US. It has a clause to cover any holdings in the US and one to cover anyone that happens to be a citizen.

Executive orders have been around longer than the current president.

Executive orders have been around longer than the current president.

Yeah... but the current one has quite the track record of abusing/overusing them. My biggest concern is the lack of due process.
