Cease executive orders

Thu., April 6, 2017

Due in part to current events, I believe that in order to fully protect the interests of the United States and our allies in the face of unprecedented allegations of possible collusion with a hostile foreign government, by members of our own government who have the power to set national policy, it is in our best interest to cease all executive orders until it can be determined that such orders do not aid our enemies and/or weaken the U.S.

Some if not all should be rolled back to Nov. 7, 2016, status until such a determination can be made. This is only an attempt to mitigate any potential damage to our democracy and err on the side of caution.
