      Yes, on the chokehold language. EOs cannot establish or change law, only congress can do that. EO can only affirm existing law, which is exactly what that EO does. All EOs are total BS, always have been. They are media rallying points for low information voters to serve the purposes of propaganda.

      generally prohibits the use of chokeholds and carotid restraints except where the use of deadly force is authorized by law.
