One of the powers of the president is known as the “executive order.”  An executive order is when the president instructs civilian or military members of the executive branch on how to do their job.  This includes orders on how to implement and enforce current federal law, orders on how agencies should spend their current budgets, and orders on how executive employees will be treated (such as determining their pay, benefits, and discrimination policies), etc.

With that in mind, for this discussion board I want you to pick a presidential executive order, explain what the executive order does, if you think this is a good or bad policy, and explain why you hold the position that you do.  If possible, try and provide evidence to justify your reasoning.
