That's just not even true, you actually have to go ALL the way back to George W. Bush (7 years ago) to find a President who's issues fewer Executive Orders than Obama.

I think he meant to say per year in office. In which case that would be accurate.

You are comparing a one term President to a two term President.
I am not an Obama fan, but right after he was elected the Republicans said that they would oppose everything he tried to do. All that left him was executive orders.
It seems like most of the Republican candidates have spoken about Obama's unconstitutional executive orders, and how they would revoke them on day one of their presidency. Is there someone who can explain to me how these executive orders work in the first place, and more importantly, what makes them unconstitutional? (I am a lawyer admitted to practice in two states, so it's not like I'm dumb, but more like I'm ignorant ). Please educate me on the evil ways as to how this executive works. Thanks.
Ummm, you're an *attorney*, and you're doing legal research *here*?
We must recall that the vast majority of executive orders are humdrum things. For instance, almost every year the President will issue an EO to allow Federal employees to go home four hours early on Christmas Eve.
It is common for an incoming President to issue new executive orders rescinding executive orders of the prior President. For instance, President Bush issued an EO banning new embryonic stem cell research. President Obama then issued a new EO rescinding said EO.
Anyway, EO's are presumed Constitutional and in force until either a Court declares otherwise, or Congress passes law otherwise.
