📊 Analysis Synthesis

The executive order represents a moderate threat to democratic norms through centralized power consolidation and legal ambiguity. While not overtly unconstitutional, it creates a framework for unchecked executive influence over foreign policy and interagency coordination. The most concerning aspect is the establishment of a presidentially controlled peace mission apparatus that could bypass legislative and judicial checks, resembling historical patterns of authoritarian power expansion.
