The quantity of Executive Orders isn’t the problem. If Obama issued only a dozen but each of those were in effect unconstitutional legislation, or which explicitly stopped the execution of laws that he himself has signed, then we have a much larger problem. This isn’t remedied by giving “our guy” the same power. If that happens, we aren’t any different than any banana republic which is what we’d like to avoid.
I agree. It isn’t the EO, it the EO that doesn’t meet the guidelines that you just described.
Since Congress has done NOTHING to stop Obama from abusing EO’s (with the approval of the Justice Department I might add), the only way to know what Trump will do is to read the EO’s he submits.
In other words, he has to issue them for us to know what’s in them.
He already said he would issue an EO allowing Military Members to Carry Weapons on Base. Is that an Unconstitutional EO? I don’t know, do you?
