This article explores the increasing use of executive orders by various political figures, from President Obama to President Trump and even Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass. It highlights the trend of bypassing traditional legislative processes and the potential implications for governance.
When President Obama’s party lost control of Congress, he said “I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone” and governed largely by executive orders for the remainder of his tenure. One of those orders created the DACA program.
Then President Biden was elected, and signed a stack of executive orders during his first week, despite his party controlling both the House and the Senate, and continued with the executive orders to the end, even during his “lame duck” status. And as a retired police sergeant, I was disappointed that Trump pardoned the January 6th defendants that assaulted Capitol police officers.
