I think more people should take note of this type of activity. You’re right presidents from both sides of the aisle have issued executive orders: since FDR took office through July 30th of 2012 the president has used this ‘loophole’ to go outside of the system of checks and balances between executive and legislative…and judicial branches more than 7,500 times!

What I’m really trying to say is two, maybe threefold. I was hoping someone was paying attention to this and could figure out that more than 3/4 of the executive orders written were written by Democrats.

Thanks for noticing and saying something and not just clicking like or dislike.
