I didn't mind when Reagan and Bush did it. Presidents have the authority to issues EOs.

They didn't break the law. What restrictions would YOU put on EO's? Can a republican president sign an EO and make abortion illegal? If not, why?

And if what Obama is going to do is okay with the liberals, should we eliminate congress altogether and give all power in this country to one man?
Obama and his HHS secretary thought birth control pills were a benefit to the people and demanded every employer must provide them.

The next president and HHS Sec. could believe the pill is bad for people, and mandates that no employer should provide them.

Did I say they broke the law? No, they issued EOs, pretty much identical to the one Obama is talking about issuing today.

I find the notion of you not minding something a Republican did implausible.
