And yeah, other President's have pulled some of this shit too.
And that's what I keep saying to Obama-Maniacs: Stop babbling that Obama does the same thing as Bush. Obama was SUPPOSED to be BETTER and CHANGE this kind of shit.
Instead he has taken it to another level.
No matter who is in office...this is not the way our Federal govt. is supposed to work. From the thieving lifetime/career Senators and House members right on to the President...we have politicians who are only interested in their own agenda.

National Ball of Wax Day? Really? I could list some of the EO's Bush or Reagan made, such as circumventing the Geneva Convention in order to implement torture, but whats the point. The bottom line though is they all had to do with skirting around the law, not declaring National Ball of Wax Day, lol.
What 'other level' has Obama taken it to? The power of EO's are written in the Constitution. If an executive order was found to exceed the powers of the executive branch as defined by the Constitution, Congress has the right to challenge and overturn the order by a 2/3 majority vote. This is EXACTLY how its supposed to work. Yet instead of doing that, they want to stroke the tea party to make it appear Obama is doing something illegal, they are betting the average FOX watcher is clueless about the Constitution and how EO's work, and they are right.
If the President was doing illegal and unconstitutional things, then impeach him. But they can't impeach because there is no impeachable offense. This is just more bullshit grandstanding at taxpayers expense, like trying 50 different times to get rid of the ACA, or having Darrell Issa spend billions on idiotic witch hunts that lead to nowhere.
