Should I keep going? Reagan had more than Clinton. FDR has the most ever.

These differences do not appear to be significant enough to warrant noting. If it was 10x or even 2x then maybe worth noting. But 40-something vs 30-something? Meh.
Meh. You’re right. It’s not really that big a deal.....until certain people go all crazy over Obama’s use of executive power....then it becomes important to point out he’s been no better nor worse than others before him and actually used executive orders less than his predecessors.
Of course not all orders are created equally.
When you use an order, or national emergency, to circumvent the action or inaction by Congress, that is WRONG, that is ABUSE OF POWER. It was wrong when Obama did it on immigration. Trump and Pence and others raked him over the coals for that one. Here we are and Trump is doing the same thing only this time he’s violating the Constitution.
It’s a win/win. McConnell is the master. He knows what he’s doing. No Shutdown. Let Trump do this. It will be stopped and tied up in the courts until the election anyway.
There will be a vote in the House and the Senate to stop it. It likely won’t get the 2/3rds it needs to prevent veto. But the people will have spoken.
Either way, the Wall won’t be built.
