Executive Order Watch

Three days as President......five EO's....new record for a sitting Prez.

Ahh the day is still young.

The Messiah had difficulty explaining the executive orders he signed.......

Must be a puppet for somebody?

And so King Obama has decided to rule by decree.

And alas we have returned to the days prior to Sept 11 (with a stroke of a pen), suddenly I feel all warm and fuzzy inside. :down:

How did he have difficulty? I heard him actually read the text of one and explain it as he was signing it. Bush issued 288 during his two terms. Obama signed 1 too close Gitmo, one to shut down the CIA secret prisons, one to review the tribunal procedures and ban harsh interrogation methods (aka torture) and he signed one to allow funding of abortion over seas.

How many of those policies did Bush run by Congress or were those EO's on his part?

What does it matter if 288 are signed in one day or 8 years? An EO is an EO regardless when it is signed.

Besides, the EO's that Obama signed were to reverse EO's by previous POTUS. The abortion EO was originally signed by Reagan, reversed by Clinton, reversed again by Bush and reversed now by Obama. The EO regarding the CIA was to reverse a EO by W creting the secret prisons.

Speaking of executive orders:

Did President Lincoln suspend Habeas Corpus?
Answer: Yes, in 1861 and 1862

As the Civil War started, in the very beginning of Lincoln's presidential term, a group of "Peace Democrats" proposed a peaceful resolution to the developing Civil War by offering a truce with the South, and forming a constitutional convention to amend the U.S. Constitution to protect States' rights. The proposal was ignored by the Unionists of the North and not taken seriously by the South. However, the Peace Democrats, also called copperheads by their enemies, publicly criticized Lincoln's belief that violating the U.S. Constitution was required to save it as a whole. With Congress not in session until July, Lincoln assumed all powers not delegated in the Constitution, including the power to suspend habeas corpus. In 1861, Lincoln had already suspended civil law in territories where resistance to the North's military power would be dangerous. In 1862, when copperhead democrats began criticizing Lincoln's violation of the Constitution, Lincoln suspended habeas corpus throughout the nation and had many copperhead democrats arrested under military authority because he felt that the State Courts in the north west would not convict war protesters such as the copperheads. He proclaimed that all persons who discouraged enlistments or engaged in disloyal practices would come under Martial Law.

Among the 13,000 people arrested under martial law was a Maryland Secessionist, John Merryman. Immediately, Hon. Roger B. Taney, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States issued a writ of habeas corpus commanding the military to bring Merryman before him. The military refused to follow the writ. Justice Taney, in Ex parte MERRYMAN, then ruled the suspension of habeas corpus unconstitutional because the writ could not be suspended without an Act of Congress. President Lincoln and the military ignored Justice Taney's ruling.

Doesn't have to be a time of anything....there are EO's in place under Clinton to forget about the Constitution.

Oh ok I get it now. I forgot you guys are merely armchair pundits that get their world/political views spoon fed via 30 second sound bites from MSM news and comedy-sketch-satire shows.

Its ok as eventually they turn the other check and mock Obama as well.

Oh wait, they already did, ie: Daily Show - Obama Is Bush.
