Is POTUS Obama truly a lawless renegade? By using his executive powers he is turning the United States into a Fiefdom?
As of February 20, 2015, Barack Obama has issued 203 executive orders and 6.8 years,
George W. Bush had issued 291 executive orders in eight years,
Bill Clinton issued 364 executive orders in eight years,
Ronald Reagan issued 381 executive orders in eight years,
Jimmy Carter issued 320 executive orders in just four years,
George HW Bush issued 169 executive orders in four years,
Dwight D Eisenhower issued 484 executive orders in eight years,
JFK issued 214 executive orders and just 2.84 years,
Richard Nixon issued 346 executive orders in 5.55 years,
Then you get into Truman 907---- FDR 3,721----Woodrow Wilson 1,803--- Teddy Roosevelt 1,081-- Calvin Coolidge 1,203
So yes everyone has used the executive order, and many used the executive order for immigration.
