How many of Obama's EO's have been overturned by the court system?
Better question is how many are being challenged IN the court system?
I didn't say his EOs are illegal... I said they are pushing the legal limits. If they weren't pushing the limits they wouldn't be challenged in court.
If they're not illegal, then they are legal. "Pushing the legal limits" is still legal.
What's the problem, other than you don't like them?
Bush used a controversial EO to restrict public access to presidential papers.... Obama uses them to 'manage' his healthcare initiative affecting millions of people and to tell immigration officers to not enforce the law and deport 5000000 illegals.
The problem with pushing the legal limits is what the next guy will do? And the next?
Executive Orders were never intended to implement LARGE policy changes... Moreso to manage national disasters and short term fixes. I don't want the next president legally abusing EOs like Obama is either.... If President Trump wants to order the IRS to not collect taxes on the wealthy then he should get a law passed to do so, not just go at it with EOs.
