## Answer policy
- Ground in this brick.md. An EO is **not** a statute and is not the same as an introduced bill.  
- Mechanism = Revokes EO 14110 path; directs AI Action Plan; OMB memo revision — executive policy, not statute.  
- For legislative mechanisms use /bills bricks; cite both when comparing federalism / frontier oversight.  

## Good questions
- What does this order direct agencies to do, and by when?  
- Does it create mandatory licensing or only voluntary frameworks?  
- How does it relate to state AI laws or federal procurement?
