I have a real problem with the ever-broadening power of the EO. In my mind, it has become a way for the President to legislate - something the Executive branch was not granted the power to do. I see the exemption from certain laws granted to individuals or corporations as legislation. As Trey Gowdy asked, if the President can ignore certain laws as he has done, can he also ignore election law? Can he EO his way to a dictatorship?

Obama thinks he can dictate by EO, but there is established Constitutional language in its powers as well as established precedent. EOs generally have to cite some specific Statutory law to which it clarifies the interpretation of (by the Executive) or augments. There have been EOs without that citation and they are administrative orders - as far as I'm concerned, I don't work for him and I won't willingly comply, say as in a gun turn-in EO because it would be against the 2nd amendment in my mind. He is abusing the power, certainly, and I reiterate, the next candidate that I vote for had damned well better swear he'll rescind EVERY EO Obama ever signed.
