Far from the truth... What is the purpose of executive orders ??? “The job of Congress is to change laws if he doesnt like them - not the presidency. So executive orders are one thing, but executive orders that actually change the statute, thats totally different,” Ryan said. Stephanopolous asked Ryan if he really thought Obama’s proposals are unconstitutional, pointing out that the rate of the president’s executive orders is far behind Presidents Reagan, Bush and Clinton. According to the National Archives Federal Register, Obama has signed 167 executive orders as of Dec. 23, 2013. President George W. Bush signed 291 executive orders, and his father, President George H.W. Bush signed 166 executive orders. President Bill Clinton signed 364 executive orders. “Its not the number of executive orders. Its the scope of the executive orders, said Ryan. Its the fact that hes actually contradicting law like in the health care case, or proposing new laws without going through Congress, George. Thats the issue. So this is a big concern. We have an increasingly lawless presidency. - See more at: cnsnews/news/article/melanie-hunter/rep-paul-ryan-we-have-increasingly-lawless-presidency?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=Marketing&utm_term=Facebook&utm_content=Facebook&utm_campaign=Paul-Ryan#sthash.FGADTg8K.dpuf
