Congress is not cooperating either, being in GOP control. Obama and Biden issued many EO's. But they weren't demolition derby level.

GWB issued EO's.

I'm not sure Clinton used them, I don't recall. I do recall mild uproar when he used "signing statements", directing how bills he signed into law were to be enforced.

Do they still use "signing statements"? When did they fade? Just not mentioned anymore, or why make a statement when you can EO!!!
