The courts can challenge an executive order, (and they have been, like the muslim ban, and sanctuary cities thing.)

Normally they are rare, but trump is a unique animal..

And like Diotrephes said, the next president can also undo executive orders, just like trump did with a bunch of Obama's executive orders. Normally it is considered bad form by a president, but all bets are off when it is trump.
