How do executive orders work? - Christina Greer 

The president sorta looks like the professor from Powerpuff Girls

Her: "William Henry Harrison never executed an executive order" Me: Oh? Her: "Because he died after 31 days" Me: oh...

Execute order 66

“Sometimes a president feels the need to exert power without working with congress.” “I am the Senate!”

You will be happy to know that I used your video as an educational lesson for my 7th grade grandson. This put him a step ahead of his civics class. He was able to discuss in class the differences between a law, a presidential decree, and an executive order. Both he and I totally enjoyed your presentation of this subject. Thanks!

“I’m an executive order, I pretty much just happen” - “School house rocks”

I really like this channel. Not only because of it's excellent content, which is clear and accurate, but also because of it's viewer base, which is polite and extremelly intelligent.

I love how I’m a high school senior and this term has never been mentioned ever. Thank you school.

2:03 - military expanding and health diminished. Yup, that sums up the role pretty well

Thank you! It’s sooooooo hard now days to find a history video that’s completely straight to the point and informative. 99% of the time their full off left wing or right wing propaganda. Keep it up!

It's sad that only a few people are interested in this topic 😕.

Sing it with me: “ *I’m an Executive order and I pretty much just happen* “

who ever thought that Prof Utonium had presidential aspirations.

Sad. Lol, nice shade, Ted-Ed!

SAD

Professor Utonium for President 2020

Biden: *cracks fingers* "let's get started!"

Here are some scary executive orders I stole from Deus Ex: 10995 - government can seize control of all media 10990 - all modes of transport 10997 - command all national resources.

We need more riddles I love them

1:30 "SAD."

This video is worlds more informative than it lets on to be if you follow along with the imagery!

I freaking love this channel, there is no greater good to be done for politics then education on the issues

More, please, from Christina Greer!

Thank you for posting this video. I used it as source material to teach my 7th grade grandson about "Executive Orders". He enjoyed the lesson very much. You have an excellent channel.

Very informative and simple to understand. Thank you

AHAHAHAHHAHA "SAD"

Thank you for making a video about the presidency without any underhanded and shallow allusions to Trump or liberals. Just turns an educational video to a political agenda.

I love these simple designs

I'm studying for my ap us history civil war test for tomorrow- thanks so much Ted-Ed you're the best!!!!!

Loved the lesson!

Nicely explained thumbs up 👍🏿 for you guys

"and what is the extend of its power?" - I don't think I heard the answer to that one in the video. What are the limits? How does the Supreme court considers it overreach?

Oh that sand effect at the end made my ears tingle

I wish to thank everyone who helped make this video and the rest of them i love all of them.

Saying an executive order is not a law depends on how vroadly you define law. In law school, we did call it a law. It is distinguished from what Congress does in that it in not a statute. What Courts do is also create law. All 3 branches, as well as the "administrative branch," which is a whole other discussion, create laws. Congress has the broadest power, but the hardest process. The President's law-making power is much narrower, but it is easy to do. The Court's power varies. In the areas where there are no written laws, they create new law by deciding cases based on first principals. That used to be common, but there are few areas still like that today. Niw, they usually interpret written laws, but since amy writing will have some vagueries, there is always room for them to exercise lawmaking power, restricted by the case in controversy requirement and subject to be overruled by changing the text they interpret, whether a stature, executive order, or the Constitution itself.

Nice one. Great drawing too.

As a non-American, I had to look this up to understand what executive orders are, seeing as Biden are writing them out by the dozens..... thank you for explaining it clearly..... although I still have questions about this new flurry of orders.....??

Thank you!! Such an interesting topic!!!

Oh I'm an Executive Order, a Executive Order, and I pretty much just happened.

I love how they enlarged the military circle and reduced the health circle

I miss this animation. GUYS PLS MAKE MORE SUCH videos on contemporary issues

행정 명령이 무었이고 어떻게 작동하는지에 대하여 배워보는 시간이 되었습니다. 행정 명령의 절차와 왜 행정명령을 내리는지에 대해서도 배웠습니다. 좋은 시간이 되었습니다. 감사합니다.

Love your videos!

Very informative!!

"Passing laws involves a fairly lengthy process. " Haha no kidding 😂

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS GREAT VIDEO.

Why can’t mainstream news provide information like this? Perfectly portrayed

I'm especially thankful for some of the EO's that have been coming down in the past year.

1:38 two by two, hands of blue. Two by two, hands of blue. Two by two, hands of blue. Now I have to watch Firefly again.

thankyou so much Ted Ed for every amazing videos with incredible information thankyou soo soo much

Good explaining

Another video that was so very helpful! You make this easier to understand and way more entertaining! i wish i had this teaching when i was in my government class.

I love Ted ed

nice lessons I've Been watching your channel in 2015

One of the ways the Roman empire lasted for 1,000 years is when the ideas of the Senate weren't working the sitting emperor had the entire Senate removed and new Senators were brought in. Could you imagine if a sitting US president issuing an order like that? I'd personally would love to see it

Apparently, James K Polk’s 9th Executive Order was the 66th one. Does anybody know what was in Executive Order 66?

Hey can you guys make a video about the important rules when it comes to english grammar

Lovely animation 👍🏻

Where exactly do I find the executive orders

3:40 that smile!

this channel is so cool!

"Without permission from Congress" -- That is not true usually. Most executive orders are drawn from President's delegated powers (rather than his expressed or inherent powers).

1:02 President Utonium.

The Great Seal in 0:36 has the olive branch on the right rather than on the left. The actual Great Seal has an olive branch on the left and the thirteen arrows on the right. Just something to consider.

Great video

Buenas tardes sería posible poner subtítulos en español gracias

0:49 I sort of realize that only left hand was sufficient......

thks fo the video

I need thisNOW

Illustration carried the day

What is the purpose of an executive order at the state level? I have no idea!

good to know

This was recommended after watching the snl bit

I really enjoyed this.9

thx this was greeat

If this had come out last week I could've used it in my ap gov paper :(

What is the difference between an Executive Order & Presidential Decree?

I thought this was about CEO's for Executive Chefs! 😂

4:16 Couldn't the president just keep making new executive orders that did the same thing and Congress would have to keep making new laws to invalidate the executive orders? Since it takes time for Congress to pass a bill the president could just keep signing different executive orders that did the same thing every time.

😮شكرا

This was interesting.

Okumara would be proud.

This was playing at a Sonora Quest while my mom was getting blood work done.

Incisve animation Keep it up

“I’m an executive order and I pretty much just happen”

Executive order 11110

Did no one noticed military "expended" and medical "contract" at 2:04?

I'm french and we'got almost the same thing, the "49.3".

We should respect these guys. Not ain't dumd comments let's say hail Ted hail ted

The soldiers in the desegregation slide are saluting with the left arms

please made one video on INDIAN Constitution

Moral of the story, do not elect a puppet for a president. The office of the president has a lot of power to change the course of history, for better or for worse.

1:42 and then, he shredded his own hand.

So if exctv orders are implemented w/o congress, how are they financed? Where I'm from (Denmark) everything the government does has to be financed through a "bill". How does the executive order circumvent congress' financial power?

This is more relevant now

0:10 "Legally" may be a bit of a stretch...

Wow

More political science please :)

I like to think that the dude who made the powerpuff girls is the president in this video.

This Roosevelt guy must be a legend
