If so, then certain Republican presidents – including Dwight Eisenhower, Gerald Ford, and Ronald Reagan – must be classified as even more monarchical, un-American and “fascistic” than Barack Obama. The nearby table shows the number of executive orders issued per year by every U.S. president since 1900.
The average for all twenty presidents is 44 per annum (p.a.), with Democrats averaging 59 p.a. and Republicans averaging 34 p.a. Harry Truman had the highest rate of decree issuance (113 p.a.), while Warren Harding had the lowest rate (just 2 p.a.). So far, Mr. Obama has averaged 37 executive orders p.a., which is below the long-term average of 44 p.a., and lower also than the rate of five GOP presidents – including Gerald Ford (84 p.a.), Dwight Eisenhower (60 p.a.), Richard Nixon (58 p.a.), Ronald Reagan (48 p.a.), and George H.W. Bush (41 p.a.). The average for all twenty presidents is 44 per annum (p.a.), with Democrats averaging 59 p.a. and Republicans averaging 34 p.a.

Dude, first of all, who the hell are YOU to call me a jackass...KMA and twice on sunday
Must be that projection of the "Trump Effect" that makes you think you can insult anybody for any reason...Sorry, but I'm not taking your sh=t...
Second of all do you have a reading comprehension problem because I never said, IN FACT I said "I didn't think he would"...
The poster I was responding to said, Trump should bypass Congress...
To quote myself: I mean you seem perfectly OK with Trump being the next Obama...
Now, I certainly don't think he will be, but I'm going into this election with my eyes wide open...
And thirdly, I certainly don't hate the man, but refuse to join the FR cult like adoration he has here...
I simply don't trust him, he's made lots of promises in no way form or function he can deliver on...
I actually do plan to vote for him...
Just so we are clear...call me a jackass, you can KMA...
Of course, we can have civil discourse, but some of you Trump supporters simply think you get a pass on that because you support the man...
Hopefully in the future we can have a civil discourse, but I'm not taking you petulant BS remarks...
