I asked ChatGPT (so take it for what that’s worth) about this and it sounds…unlikely.
An executive order cannot override a law passed by Congress and signed into law by the President. In the U.S. legal system, executive orders can be used to direct the operations of the federal government and are often based on existing authority granted by Congress or the Constitution. However, they cannot contradict existing federal statutes. In the scenario you described, where President-elect Trump plans to issue an executive order to extend the deadline for TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, to find a buyer, the order would need to be consistent with the authority and provisions already granted under the law. The law banning TikTok allows the sitting president to extend the deadline by 90 days if a sale is in progress. The bill notes –
‘The president may grant a one-time extension of the divestiture deadline by as long as 90 days if a path to a qualified divestiture has been identified, “significant” progress has been made to executing the divestiture, and legally binding agreements for facilitating the divestiture are in place.’
So unless a divestiture has been identified along with significant progress made, any such move by Trump is not consistent with the law.
Was wondering about that. Didn’t think he had the power to ignore all laws.
Interesting a Chinese business owner will have a prime seat at the inauguration. Billionaires will be controlling our country soon. Disgusting.
“Billionaires will be controlling our country soon. Disgusting.”
The CEOs of Pfizer, Blackrock, Vanguard, Microsoft, Apple, Salesforce, The Atlantic, Disney, Target, Unilever, Merck, &c: “Were the last four years a joke to you?”
Try 40, Lauren.
Influence and control are different. I haven’t seen anyone of them making public comments on changing the landscape of our country.
“ But to date, the U.S. has not publicly provided evidence of TikTok handing user data to Chinese authorities or tinkering with its algorithm to benefit Chinese interests.”
Neither of these are accurate statements. Banning TikTok was the right decision years ago and remains the right one now.
If China doesn’t want to sell (and they don’t), they should allow Meta and X to access the Chinese market in the same way that they’re allowed to access the US market.
https://www.cisecurity.org/insights/blog/the-chinese-communist-party-ccp-a-quest-for-data-control
China doesn’t even allow TikTok in the China market.
It’s all becoming clear to you …
Only reason Trump no longer wants Tik Tok banned is the campaign donation he received from one of TIkTok’s investors. Probably Trump also sold a 1st row seat.
The corruption never ends with felon Trump.
Trump was the one who initially brought up the idea of a ban when he was President. Now that it proves useful as a media tool for him personally and his campaign and he received huge donations from Chinese investors, I guess China’s tik tok ownership is no longer the national security threat he once claimed it was . . . and he said he couldn’t be bought.
Trump pulls off in the open the corruption that Republicans claim, despite no evidence, that Biden did in secret. It kind of exposes that they don’t really care about the rule of law…
Nor will the Republicans care about budget deficits, trade imbalances, voter registration and fair elections, guns, drugs, or a host of other campaign promises. They won. It’s over. It’s now all about pillaging the US economy. Mumps will get his regulatory relief to allow him to lauch more rockets. The EV mandates will be abandoned, to the benefit of his company. The tech people will get their relief from Congress on visas and regulation. Trusk and family will once again own the Old Post Office hotel, now a Waldorf Astoria, and every foreign leader or business person coming to do business with Trusk’s family will stay there. Events and receptions will be booked there. Because Trusk and family keep accounts; they know who is buying from them, and who isn’t.
Batten down the hatches America…here comes the wave
