📊 Analysis Synthesis

The executive order centralizes regulatory authority within the Executive Branch, potentially undermining democratic norms through bypassing legislative processes. While it does not explicitly violate constitutional provisions, concerns about procedural transparency and checks and balances remain. The historical precedent of using executive orders for significant policy shifts without adequate legislative input suggests potential risks to institutional integrity.
