Trump issued an executive order. I really don't understand how they are possible, but clearly they are a legal mechanism as Presidents have been using them going back at least to FDR from what I have seen (maybe longer).

So, issuing an executive order is not illegal.

If the content/directive of the order ends up being determined to conflict with other existing law, where does it sit in the "hierarchy" of things. Clearly Federal law overrides State law. My question is where does an Executive Order sit? Below Federal law? Above it?

Obviously if it violates the US Constitution, it would just be thrown out/not enforced...not sure exactly what the correct terminology is there, but you know what I mean.

Now, assuming that it violates the Constitution and/or other existing law that is "above" the EO in priority....how is that a "crime"? We have laws passed by Congress and the States all the time that conflict with each other and in some cases are even determined to violate the Constitution. I have never heard anyone call those criminal offenses. Would that really be a "crime"?
