In trumps lifetime as president, he only signed 55 executive orders. As compared to Obama's 254. Some of what Biden signed were executive actions, which are basically presidential advice to various departments on how they should go about doing stuff. Actions are more commonly used, but don't have a tendency to be fully enforced, whereas Orders are fully enforced, but can be constitutionally challenged by the courts or legislature.

Yeah Trump averaged 55 per year. He signed 220 in 4 years, Obama signed 276 in 8. The difference was that a large amount of Trump’s EO’s were reversals of Obama’s. Obama was just straight up making stuff up out of thin air in order to get around Congress. Now Biden is bringing back Obama era EO’s.
Executive orders are wrong. This is where I'd love to see SCOTUS step in similar to marbury v madison and just straight up say "no... legislative authority rests with the congress, per the constitution."
Obama changed the way Executive Orders were used. Remember when he first got in and said he could not change immigration laws--that it needed to be done by Congress? Congress was too political to make their support such a visible thing, so between Executive Orders and activist judges they were able to change the law without holding politicians accountable. A run around the system. Needs to stop.
This makes the third administration (this one being the fraudulency) in a row that is basically relying on executive orders. Congress needs to get itself together and start passing laws and doing its job. They have delegated most of their responsibilities over to a permanent bureaucracy. The rest of the responsibilities are being taken over by presidential executive orders. It's time Congress stopped all the partisan bickering, the insider trading and all the media circuses and focused on their jobs.

I think your numbers are wrong. Just an FYI.

Yes.

"I have a phone and a pen"
Most people don't even know that they're unconstitutional. It's a sad state of affairs.
CNN... Pffffffftt
How many can be enforced without congress? Not being sarcastic , really worried about the impact, and hoping some can be stopped.
"without" ???
Congress installed him. Every single one will be enforced.
As far as I can tell most of them were Executive Actions; not Orders.
Biden has the House and Senate, why the need for so many EOs? Unless he's trying to inflict as much damage, as quickly as possible.

Funny even Hitler did more with less. Fucking kek
And canceled that many of Trump’s EOs.
Can you not link to Communist News Network (CNN) ?
Joe: "I don't even know what I'm signing here..."
Please don't link directly to CNN, I really hate giving them even one click per month.
Hey cock sucker, STOP LINKING CNN. Use an archiver.
Almost like, he didn't write them, didn't assist in writing them, and has agreed to rubber stamp anything the Establishment puts on his desk
yuk, don't link cnn!
He has a pen and a phone
No CNN links.
