> Trump signaled that he would sign an EO allowing a 90 day extension to the ban terms on Monday

How does that work? If congress passed a law banning TikTok how can the president just override it for 3 months? What's to stop him from overriding it for the next 4 years?

It's outlined in the bill and is explicitly stated.

I've lost interest in this topic unfortunately, but its pretty clear even past all the legalese with the terms defined from what I remember.

I read the bill and didn't see it stated anywhere. I'd genuinely appreciate a link or even a copy/paste with the relevant section that I could look up on google.
