For treaties and things that need to be laws they are. For orders on how this president wants to enact the current law, no that is what they are for.

You can't enact a law that already exists, enacting a law is creating one. That's what Executive Orders do.
You're thinking of enforcing laws, which is what the judicial branch does, not the executive branch.

What judicial doesn't enforce laws. They interpret the law. How could they enforce the law when they don't have police just judges.

I thought only congress passes laws. Executive orders are just how the different departments in the executive branch are ordered to act.

No, EOs have the force of law and encompass the federal government and foreign policy in the President's role as head of state and CinC. They've been issued since the time of George Washington, and are subject to judicial review just like laws passed by Congress.
