Executive orders, like other unilateral actions, allow presidents to make policy outside of the regular lawmaking process. This leaves Congress, notoriously polarised and gridlocked, to respond. Thus, executive orders are unilateral actions that give presidents several advantages, allowing them to move first and act alone in policymaking.

The article from Crikey discusses the potential implications of Donald Trump's proposed executive orders if he were to return to the White House. Trump has promised to enact sweeping changes on his first day back in office, targeting issues like immigration, energy policy, and education. Legal experts and political analysts cited in the article express concerns over the legality and feasibility of these orders, suggesting that many could face immediate legal challenges. They highlight that Trump's plans might include reversing Biden-era policies, such as those on climate change and immigration, which could lead to significant court battles. The piece also notes that while some of Trump's previous executive actions were upheld, others were struck down, setting a precedent for potential future conflicts between the executive branch and the judiciary. The overarching theme is the tension between executive power and the checks and balances provided by the judicial system.
