I don't understand why Trump can't just issue an executive order directing the sun to shine for a minimum of 12 hours a day all year long.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

He doesn't understand why he can't do it either
He'll issue an executive order directing every American to just move to Florida.
"Nobody knew that [seasonality] could be so complicated."
There's a sharpie for that, I'm sure
He tried to set himself as the alpha wolf against the Sun when he stared at it during the dollar eclipse several years ago. He had to back off before he went blind because the insolent Sun wouldn't bend to his will. So he already knows it won't respect an executive order.
“I think he just doesn’t want the clocks to go back and forth.”
A broken clock is right twice a day, and we just found something I agree with Trump about.
Each clock change (yes, in both directions) is followed by a spike in cardiac events and car crashes. I care more about getting rid of the change than which time is made permanent.
Heart attacks drop (21%) in the fall change almost the same amount they spike (24%) in the spring change. Which says more about our sleep habits than anything.
Can he also make Halloween the last Friday in October?
