    It would probably be best for the US if he'd just do nothing for four years.

    Yes.

    However, his handlers supporters won't stand for it.

      There is a pandemic raging, this is not a time to “do nothing.”

        What are the general thoughts on executive orders from the people here on this forum board? I really don’t know anything about them, so don’t have much of an opinion.

        But they seem to of been use quite a bit more in modern times than previously, but I am not even sure of that. 🙂

              https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/01/25/rule-by-decree-joe-biden-sets-record-for-executive-orders-in-first-week/

              President Joe Biden has issued more executive orders in his first week in office — not yet complete, as of this writing — than any of his 45 predecessors.

              As of January 25, 2021, Biden has “issued 33 executive orders, actions, proclamations, memoranda and agency directives,” according to CNN. Twenty-one of these, according to the White House website, are executive orders.

              President Donald Trump signed four in his first week in 2017; President Barack Obama signed five in 2009; President George W. Bush signed none in his first week in 2001; and President Bill Clinton signed one in 1993.

              The historical norm for most presidents appears to be no more than a few executive orders, if any, in the first week. The American Presidency Project at the University of California Santa Barbara confirms that no other president has issued as many as Biden — not even Franklin Delano Roosevelt, whose energetic first 100 days set a new standard for activity.

              But it's BREITBART!!!

              Yeah, but facts is facts.

              Being the first president to succeed Donald Trump, he had a lot of work to do.

              And is there a point to this article? Is there some significance to his issuing more EOs in the first week?

              If he issues fewer EOs in week two, will breitbart make a BFD about that also?

                It's a time-honored custom to not like President's executive orders. Fox News went apoplectic over Obama's use of executive orders - and yet President Obama issued fewer executive orders than any President since Grover Cleveland.

                Similarly, Democrats and media were horrified at the Dark Lord's use of executive orders for the past 4 years.

                I don't think anyone really likes the concept of executive fiat - but congress hasn't functioned all that well in a while.

                    "An executive order is a signed, written, and published directive from the President of the United States that manages operations of the federal government. ... Executive orders are not legislation; they require no approval from Congress, and Congress cannot simply overturn them." -- American Bar Association

                        I didn't pay attention to EO's during the Bush days.

                        During Obama days they were seen as undemocratic.

                        Trump used them just as much, and one-upped Obama by perfecting the "everything is an emergency" executive order.

                        They're flimsy though - and fake policy. I think Obama specifically told Trump that one of his failings was using too many EOs.

                          It seems to me that being either a future president or former president is a much easier job than being a president.

                          I was only joking

                                    He tried to have the original order by Obama called unconstitutional because he administration didn't want to take the flak.

                                    There was absolutely nothing stopping the administration from issuing a new order dismantling DACA.
