  • The executive order gives the president more power over federal agencies that are part of the executive branch of government.

The article from MSN discusses a recent executive order signed by former President Donald Trump, which aimed to assert that only he and the Attorney General have the authority to interpret laws. However, this order is clarified to be limited in scope, applying only within the executive branch of the U.S. government. This means that while Trump and the Attorney General can guide the interpretation of laws for executive agencies, this directive does not extend to other branches of government or override judicial interpretations. Legal experts have noted that this move, while showcasing Trump's intent to centralize interpretive power, does not legally bind other branches of government or change the established separation of powers. The order has sparked discussions on the balance of power and the extent of executive authority, with critics arguing it could potentially lead to conflicts with judicial and legislative branches.
