There aren't any hard or fast rules you can apply to EOs. They encompass a myriad of governmental and social issues and have to be taken on a case by case basis. I don't see an issue with any of the EO's cited. On that matter, unless an EO is constitutionally based, Congress can directly affect a presidential action by either amending, nullifying, repealing revoking, or terminating the authority on which it was founded.
On the issue of Gardasil, which I think is your stickler for bringing up an EO, the stats were showing that Texas has among the highest prevalence rates of cervical cancer in the United States. CDC - Cervical Cancer Rates by State
Gov. Perry signed an EO to put the HPV on the vaccine schedule in order to bring the cost down for those that didn't want to "opt out". The whole thing was overblown.
Shouting that young girls were being forced is a lie. No one was forced to take the HPV. Another reason the age group is cited is because the vaccine would be more effective in that age group than in an older age group. It's just that simple.
Texas doesn't force vaccines on any resident.
It wouldn't be quite as simple to 'opt out' as you are making it seem. What about an 'opt in' instead?
Yes, it is quite that simple. And if you want a play on words - if you want the vaccine you, in essence, participated in an "Opt in", because it's not mandatory.

It's not now, but it would have been under Perry's executive order. You had to opt out under that order. That is the point that was at issue.

No, it was never going to be a mandate without an Opt out. All vaccines in Texas offer an opt out. If you are saying it would have not included an opt out, that is false information. False from the get go.

What I said was that it would not be simple to just opt out...meaning it was complicated. If you had read the link I provided, you would have understood that.
How do you know who is illegal and who is a Mexican-American?
That's a great question and one that I am sure Rick Perry understands when it comes to contracting a lawn service company and not really knowing just by looking who is working for them or who the hired to work for them. Just like we don't know when we eat at that Mexican restaurant which servers or cooks are legal and illegal.

I live here, I know what it entails. It is not hard.
