From what I have read:

US President: can make executive orders, fast but weak.

US Congress: makes laws, is slower, but more powerful than El Presidente; can tolerate executive orders by the President by doing nothing but can kill it by responding with making laws.

US Supreme Court: even slower, but can pull out the nuke. Can nuke executive orders and defines the legal frames for making laws by the Congress on the base of the US Constitutional law, so no reintroducing black slavery in the US e.g.

It that it the hierarchy in the US then I think, you can't say El Presidente is "bypassing" the Congress, you could better say, the Congess is "weak" or "slow" or something like that if that is what you feel like it is.

Can you sue the US President for violating your constitutional rights by making executive orders that affect your status as a US citizen or your status as a member of the US Congress?
