Why doesn't anyone get upset by the fact that the use of Executive Orders has been massively abused by both parties and needs to be reigned in my Congress? It was the intent of the founders that Congress make the laws and The Executive carries them out. An executive order should be limited to how to do what Congress has mandated/authorized, not to effectively rule by edict because Congress passed legislation that allows absurdly wide latitude for The Executive to make orders (or agencies to make regulations).

As for whatever this EO is supposed to be about: Trump can't spell "AI" so I can't take his opinions on this field seriously.

Because Republicans do not care about the checks and balances of the Constitution. They only care about their own power and not the future for the next generations.

Because all you can do in a two-party system is vote in the other EO abuser.

		"Abused by both parties" is not a valid argument. Republican's use of EO are blatantly unconstitutional and they gloat about how it's unconstitutional, whereas usually Democrats' use of EO are deliberately designed to be within the rule of law or at least arguable as to whether or not it's legal. Republicans are pushing through whatever EO they want right now because they have a majority in Congress, which is at a historic level of dysfunction and corruption and will let the executive branch rule like a king.

I think the answer is probably that life is easy enough. Directly or indirectly, as a lord optimizing for just barely good enough will leave you in power. Until an invader shows up.
