From my understanding other presidents, on both sides, have pushed the boundaries/limits of executive orders but, as far as I understand it, his use is unprecedented. I had to read the wiki on them, but it's not supposed to be used outside of the executive branch unless supported by law or the constitution. I guess the grey area is "implied" in the below portion from Wikipedia.

"The delegation of discretionary power to make such orders is required to be supported by either an expressed or implied congressional law, or the constitution itself"

If something were to be de-funded, it should be done by the congress as that's where it was initially funded right?

It seems to me the our checks and balances are failing. The judicial branch, at least at the highest level, seems to be mostly supporting him, even when they don't have much or any constitutional ground to do so.
