3. The order will be as worthless as he is.

Can't be enforced, since elections are run by the states, and it will take more than "legislation" to change that. Congress can pass bills from now until the world ends, they can't regulate elections without a constitutional amendment that would require two thirds of Congress to approve and two thirds of states to ratify.

It will never happen.

An executive order will be like everything else that comes out of his mouth, nothing. He can issue it and nothing will happen as a result, since the executive branch has no jusridiction over elections.
