Just like issuing executive orders, right?

If you're referring to EO's issued by the President of the United States, you should be aware that EO's only have the force of law within two scopes of power:

* power delegated to the President by statute passed by Congress

* powers explicitly and exclusively delegated to the President by the Constitution (of which there are few)

It's a misconception that the President can issue an "executive order" that overrules Congress. Such an order would have no force, and would fail in front of a federal court --- you saw this with the original Trump Muslim Ban.

You're confusing actions taken by the executive branch with actions taken by the legislative branch. For a dictator like Lukashenko there is no difference. In democratic states they are quire different.

It amazes me that people still want to exclaim “Democracy!” in the same manner others (ab-)used “Communism!” when Agamben's very comprehensible works are easily available.
