    I just found this site through Conservative Hideout 2.0. I added you to my blogroll. Very good post. The gray area in regards to EO is that some believe because after 30 day an EO becomes law, it goes directly against the intentions of the Constitution and the separation of powers. Congress is the only legislating body per the Constitution. I look forward reading more post on this site.

      Right! The president is merely supposed to make sure they follow the Constitution.

    You've come to a good place, John. CL covers it all, and he doesn't shy away from the difficult issues.

    Apparently, the only recent POTUS that was tarred for this in any way was Bush. Slick Willie used executive orders extensively back in his day. I guess it goes along with the axiom, "It's only OK when the Democrats do it."

      Executive Power ... What progressivism hath wrought. And yes, I can be a heathen!
