"The truth is, even with all the actions I've taken this year, I'm issuing executive orders at the lowest rate in more than 100 years."Hmmm... let's just take a closer look at that claim...Should this matter to anyone? Only if you fell for all that hopey changey argle-bargle...
Like executive orders, presidential memoranda don't require action by Congress. They have the same force of law as executive orders and often have consequences just as far-reaching. And some of the most significant actions of the Obama presidency have come not by executive order but by presidential memoranda.And now the United States is 18 trillion dollars in debt.
Thus goes the Imperial Presidency.
