On December 28, 2000, Clinton signed Executive Order 13184 - Revocation of Executive Order 12834

In other words, at the beginning of my Presidency, I say that we are going to act ethically. At the end of my presidency I say, "Oops, changed my mind."
William J. Clinton Executive Order 13184

Clever huh? Let's see if Obama and the Clintion cronies try something similar.

I read the first few then quit. None of these are obeyed as laws. What a joke, huh?

Maybe we can ignore Zero’s EOs the same way.

Obama will have a stack of Executive Orders the size of the NYC Phone Book ready to go on Day One.

But that is what you can expect when the White House changes to another party.

Hussein has already announced his plan to liberally use EO’s...can he use this method to overturn state CCL permits? Ban specific items (50 cal rifles)? Close the gunshow “loophole”?
We know these orders would be pushing the limits, but that doesn’t mean the great Hussein can’t try...after all, what are the actual limits on this EO power? ...and how long would the resulting court challenges take? This would accomplish his goals and still keep the heat off his newly elected Dimmie cronies in Congress.

“Stroke of the pen. Law of the land. Kind of cool,” was the statement made by White House communications counsel Paul Begala in July 1998. He was talking about the ease with which President Clinton was able to create law virtually unchallenged using executive orders and presidential directives.
