Having lost the White House, Democrats have suddenly rediscovered the drawbacks of executive overreach — hilariously including even Obama:

Obama has signed 260 executive orders so far in his eight years in the White House, according to a report, but wants Trump to take it easy when it comes to exercising the same power.

What a difference 2 years makes. In 2014, Obama barked that he didn’t need to work with Congress because “I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone,” tools that allowed him to rule unilaterally.

President Obama emphasized that he is not waiting for legislation, that he has a pen and he will use it to sign executive orders – run time 0:19 seconds

This time Obama is right. This country was never meant to be ruled by one man. The Executive Branch is supposed to execute law, not create it. Too bad FDR never got that memo. He imposed 3,721 executive orders. At the opposite extreme on the liberty spectrum, James Madison issued one.
