What are the limits on executive orders?

Obama threatens and does use these to govern. He just said he will use executive orders to fix the immigration system this year.
What are the limits on those orders? Are they time limited? I don't think so. Can Congress usurp them in some manner and slap him down? If an executive can govern like this, why do we have a legislative body for anything but budgets?

Impeachment by Congress. That is the balance of power. If congress is unwilling then oh well.

We're about to find out, I'm afraid.
The answer could well define whether we're still America the Republic, or have become Rome the Empire.

Apparently none with this president. He believes he can do what he wants. If the house and senate want it changed send a bill for him to sign.

The next President can undo an executive order, basically create his own executive order. The courts can also say that his action is unconstitutional. Congress could pass specific laws that counter his order, but he would just veto those. Congress could also cut funding to areas that make his EO's ineffective.
