What is good for the goose is not always so good for the gander.

Seems President Reagan has President Obama beat.

Did you notice that chart was through Oct 2014? Obama has issued most of his EOs since then.

Libs and their apologists never get that far.

I don't know. What were the nature of the Executive Orders? I guarantee Obama's were to circumvent legislation for the most part. Reagan's not so much. I will bet you a dollar, or a Victory IPA. :)

Hmmm.... the IPA sounds intriguing.. ;D

They are all listed:

The vast majority are pretty mundane and more to do with just running the government. Probably are some that circumvent legislation. There is a difference between an Executive Order and an Executive Action.
