Small nitpick: this is all executive action, not a bill or law. That means that it can be undone as soon as a new president takes office.

That's not a "small nitpick" but a huge glaring gap in this entire process.

Not only can it be undone but it can be re-done or changed in any way imaginable short of a court stepping in and saying "no, you don't have the authority to do that" which is unlikely.

We should get VERY nervous when POTUS enacts sweeping changes to "rewrite" laws without actually changing the law.
