Ah, so you're going for a symbolic win? Knock yourself out. Circle back to my initial question as to what you expect the President to do. Apparently the answer to that question is clear: nothing. That's fine, as long as we're clear on what's going to happen.

Do you understand the difference between issuing an executive order to change executive policy, and one to change law? I'll give you a hint... one is a legal power of the office of the president, and the other is not.
