The President issues an executive order directing all federal agencies to implement a new nationwide environmental initiative aimed at reducing plastic waste by 40% within three years. In response, Congress passes a statute that requires any federal environmental initiative to receive prior approval from both houses of Congress before implementation. What is the most likely outcome regarding the President's executive order?
The executive order remains valid and can be implemented without congressional approval.
The executive order must be reviewed by the Supreme Court before implementation.
Congress can veto the executive order through a majority vote.
The executive order is invalid due to the new congressional statute requiring prior approval.
The executive order is invalid because Congress has passed a statute that requires prior approval for federal environmental initiatives. According to the separation of powers, congressional legislation can limit executive actions, and the executive order cannot override the new statutory requirement.
