You need to understand that the genesis and nature of executive orders is unconstitutional. Executive orders, not contemplated by our Founders or the Constitution, came into being to run unconstitutional “administrative agencies” the source for our prolific and unconstitutional “regulations” which themselves are law that has bypassed Congress.
So generally executive orders should be spare, if at all, and expressly in response to Congressional legislation.
The main point here in regards to Trump’s acts is to bring up and think about the Constitution about which I have seen very little discussion.
Executive administrative agencies are created by statute. Have some of them taken on a life of their own? You bet! They need to be reined in or eliminated.
This is not the case with these particular EOs
Ok lets go emanations of penumbra hunting.
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.
