In a dramatic turn of events, TikTok is back online in the United States after being down for just 12 hours. The restoration comes after President Trump, who was officially inaugurated as the 47th President overnight, announced he would sign an executive order to delay the ban as he takes office this week. Trump says he'll make sure the app can remain in America, even at the cost of the existing regulation. Today, we'll break down what happened during this chaotic weekend, and the limits of the President's powers to reverse a law in action.
