An Executive Order is a declaration by either a President or a Governor which has the force of law and isusually based on existing statutory powers vested on the executive.

They do not require any action by the National Assembly or State Assembly to take effect, while the legislature cannot overturn such orders.

Once issued, Executive Orders remain in force until they are canceled, revoked, adjudicated unlawful, or expire on their terms. However, such orders may be revoked, modified or altered by a new President or Governor whether the order was made by an incumbent or a predecessor.
