"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

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

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 really don’t know anything about them, so don’t have much of an opinion.

Interesting Cats. Thanks!! It appears that they were almost never used until early 1900's, and then used alot and has gone back down a bit.

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.
