Does Anyone Have The Numbers On Former And Current President's Use Of Executive Orders?....

[global1]

I know that this is what riled Repugs - the President's intention to use EO's to get things done.

My understanding is that President Obama hasn't invoked EO's that much since being elected. I'm also under the impression that previous President's used EO's quite readily.

If someone has those numbers - please post them here.

We will be needing to arm ourselves with that information to be able to rebut Repugs calling President Obama a dictator or king. You can bet your boots that there will be calls for impeachment because this President is circumventing the Constitution and bypassing Congress.

1. I Don't Have Them Myself, But Perhaps They

might be listed on either one of Rachel's show earlier this week or maybe it was Chris Hayes. One of them had a chart.

Oooops, it could be Ed Schultz! I know I saw the comparison on one of the shows this week anyway. Don't think I'm much help here, seems all I'm doing is telling you to research their programs. There could be a web site that you can find. But you know what else? I just BET someone here will post the answer on here pretty quick.

Lots of "quick draw McGraws" here at DU! Always a place with a plethora of INFORMATION.
