Agreed-it’s far more complex now than it was back when. What do you do with several T in market cap wiped out overnight? Pensions and 401ks leverage stocks of heath care insurers and the like. And that’s just one element to account for.

SCOTUS seems to certainly be of the opinion that EOs (which are not even laws in the first place) are now the equivalent of Constitutional amendments. Why they think that is unclear as they keep not bothering to explain their rationale.

Depends on which branch you join. I signed up to do a specific job (MOS, or military occupational speciality) in the Army. Other branches don’t necessarily allow that. Aside from that, you swear to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
