The issue here is until Congress intervenes, foreign affairs power still is within the executive branches jurisdiction... Which is increasingly tumultuous with Congress flipping underneath the president every cycle it feels like.
The legal basis for the Order banning Tik Tok [1] came from Order 13873 [2]. It's...not the best.
