Executive orders, not contemplated by our Founders or the Constitution,

George Washington wrote the first EO.

William Henry Harrison was the only one who did not write any and that would have been because he died 31 days after inauguration.

The history of EO’s is they were used very sparingly and were oftentimes questionable. George Washington isn’t the standard for valid federal action. The Constitution is.
