How do these orders supercede Constitutionality or infringe on the balance of powers? He's the head (constitutionally) of the executive branch issuing executive orders related to how the executive branch will function. There's absolutely no "comdemnation" of other branches of government. The courts always have the authority to declare an executive order invalid if the president exceeded his authority in issuing it. Congress has the power to supercede the order by statute.

But what are the orders about? Looking through the lists you posted, there's an awful lot of fairly routine stuff in there.
Somebody's sipping on the haterade.
