Executive orders are not unconstitutional. Many presidents, not just Obama or Democrats, have done it: Here is a graph showing it. See, above "Reagan" says "381".

The problem is not the use of executive orders. The problem is when executive orders directly contradict the law.

Here's the skinny on executive orders:

Do you know how an Executive Order differs from a law?

[–]lxpnh98 6 ポイント7 ポイント 前

Basically, a law affects everyone in the country. An executive order may only apply to federal workers. The image says "law" but given that this is /r/conservative and everyone must hate the president because he's a Democrat, you actually meant "executive action," in fact, misunderstanding the difference between the two.

Yes, Obama can write an Executive Order but not a law thus the graphic is correct.

[–]lxpnh98 1 ポイント2 ポイント 前

Did he write a law? Was there a similar graphic when Bush was president, implying that Bush was crossing the line?

[–]chabanaisFortis est veritas -1 ポイント0 ポイント 前

This does not refer to any one president but to the Constitution.

As I said, writing an E.O. is not the same as writing a law thus the graphic is correct.

Then why do people upvote this post, if it's that obvious? Maybe because they think an E.O. is a law and it's unconstitutional. I was clarifying that misconception. You're just being technically correct by saying the image just refers to laws and there is not other meaning to it. The fact is that this image was made to criticise president Obama for raising the minimum wage on federal workers.

"The fact is that this image was made to criticise president Obama for raising the minimum wage on federal workers"

OR... OR... altering and delaying numerous aspects of the ACA (a law dutifully enacted by Congress), a law that pertains to every single fucking American and not just federal workers. A law that was willfully and gleefully signed into law by the very President who now alters it...?

So glad your assumptions were wrong, you might as well be a conservative because you so clearly have us figured out!!!

He didn't write the law, nor did he alter it. He just delayed it.

If we are discussing Executive Orders then that is not a Law. There is no "technically correct" there is correct or incorrect.

For the third time, the graphic is correct a U.S. president cannot write a law.

[–]lxpnh98 1 ポイント2 ポイント 前

And for the fourth time, the graph is implying that Obama wrote a law, which is incorrect.

Where does that graphic say "Obama?"
