That's a very useful chart - thanks. However, I am interested to know whether you think two wrongs make a right? Assuming, of course, that executive orders which break the Constitution are indeed a wrong.
You are wrong. That phrase is not included in the presidential oath of office.
And you still haven't given me a single instance of an executive order that violated the Constitution, unless you meant your statement to mean that all executive orders violate the Constitution. If that is the case, then I have to assume that you believe Republican presidents are the worst constitutional violators, since they average more executive orders than Democratic presidents -- and that Barack Obama would be the least constitutional violator, since he has issued less executive orders than any president in the 20th or 21st centuries.
ANONYMOUS COMMENTS WILL NOT BE PUBLISHED. And neither will racist,homophobic, or misogynistic comments. I do not mind if you disagree, but make your case in a decent manner.

ReplyDeleteYour question is moot -- unless you can tell me what executive order violated the Constitution.
ReplyDeleteI thought, correct me if I'm wrong, that Presidents swore an oath to uphold the laws - *as passed by Congress*!
