Congress enacted a law that had limitations that could be imposed only by an act of Congress. Congress then adopted a new law authorizing the President to take any necessary and appropriate action. Five days later, the President issued an executive order pursuant to her executive powers under Article II. In weeks after the executive order, Congress took no action. A manufacturer filed suit alleging that the President exceeded the Article II powers. A reviewing court would likely hold that the executive order is:
a) Constitutional, as the President acted within the authority granted by Congress
b) Unconstitutional, as the President overstepped the limitations set by the original law
c) Constitutional, as Congress's subsequent inaction implied approval of the executive order
d) Unconstitutional, as the President's executive powers do not allow for the circumvention of Congress's limitations
