          The point isn’t to take advice; it’s to push responsibility and blame onto somebody else.

            I set up a panel of people that I can fire when they don’t tell me that I should fire the people I already want to fire.

            Actually no, I’ve not heard of them. I’m not American, can I get a TL;DR? From connect in guessing some kind of “think tank”?

      Yes, and this is the exercise of that power. In practice, most of the things the President has power to do is delegated, and doubly so when Trump is lazy as shit. Executive Orders are the process of delegating those powers and setting guidelines.

      This just isn’t normally done because Presidents usually aren’t afraid that their illegal orders will be ignored.
