I am not a lawyer, but it=E2=80=99s my understanding that from growing u=
p in the US that the President=E2=80=99s orders only apply to the execut=
ive branch. (And ChatGPT seems to agree with me, for whatever that is wo=
rth).

The President does not and cannot create laws that everyone must follow.=
 However, if the PHP Foundation accepts and performs US Government contr=
acts, this might possibly affect them.
