Since Executive Orders were such a big component of the conservative griping about the Obama Presidency, I find it curious that in his first two days in office President Trump has issued 6 Executive Orders...

Using some basic math, one can deduce that if President Trump continues at his current pace, he'll be on track for a stunning 2,883 executive orders by the end of his 4yr term.

240 working days per year 5*48 weeks (assuming 4 weeks off)*3 Executive Orders per day = 2882 + 1 leap day

Obviously, he's bound to slow down, but I can't help but wonder if the complaints about the abuse of executive power will ever surface from the right wing of our populace.

Obama issued five Executive Orders in his first 2 days, and nine EOs in the first 10 days.

What of it?

It wasn't the number of Executive Orders that was at issue, rather it was the content of the Executive Orders that caused angst.
