President Obama said in an interview broadcast Sunday that he bent over backwards to give Congress leeway to pass immigration reform.
On ABCs This Week, Obama said he has issued fewer executive actions than most former presidents by a longshot.
If you ask historians, take a look at the track records of the modern presidency, Ive actually been very restrained.

Emotions are an illusion and are not valid catalysts to permit the changing of the Constitution or any law. If anyone has reached the depth of emotions where they become unruly or are unable to prevent themselves from breaking the law, they need to recuse themselves from the situation.
Time to really restrain the SOB in a prison cell.
Well, the legislative branch needs to be brought in line. Now how to do that ?
Historical note: When Saddam Hussein came to power, he went before the Iraqi parliament and read off a list of names. They were the members of parliament who were perceived to be threats. They were all lead off to be executed.

Arrogant, Malignant Narcissism.
CLASSIC.
so have we mr. president...so have we.
You have to admit he hasn’t set up any Gulags or firing squads. So yes, by Marxist standards he has been very restrained.
Pray America is waking
Naw...restrained is the pillory and tomatoes at 20 paces. Jerk doesn’t know “restraint.”
The man’s a puke, pure and simple
Oh wow...I missed this Friday...though you’d like to know...
“”Dutch move 122 tons of gold out of US””
The Dutch Central Bank says it has recently shipped 122.5 tons of gold worth around 4 billion euros ($5 billion) from safekeeping in New York back to its headquarters in Amsterdam.
In a statement Friday morning the bank said that its 612.5-ton national gold reserve is now divided 31 percent in Amsterdam, 31 percent in New York, 20 percent in Ottawa, Canada and 18 percent in London.
“With this adjustment the Dutch Central Bank joins other banks that are keeping a larger share of their gold supply in their own country,” the bank said in a statement. “In addition to a more balanced division of the gold reserves...this may also contribute to a positive confidence effect with the public.”

As I see it, Obama does not understand what he did with his immigration executive order: By legalizing 5,000,000 illegal immigrants, the horrible effect on the people of the United States was equal to him signing 5,000,000 executive orders.
I can't think of any other president signing 5,000,000 executive orders.
Correct - just looking at the numbers is stupid. Although obama is just about the same number-wise as Bush was iirc.
But most of these EO’s, obama’s included, are for things like revising a list of medicines, creating an office for relations with Africa, etc. Although there were several related to the minimum wage and “fair” pay. It’s not the number of them, it’s whether they are legal or not.
And - this amnesty thing is called an “Executive Action”. Not sure what that really means.
