Obama has shredded any idea of executive restraint, pushing presidential powers to the limits, and beyond, through his use of EOs and rule making. Libs have cheered him for "standing up to the GOP" in Congress and going it alone.
Unfortunately, for them, this has created a precedent for the next president to do exactly the same thing. Libs can hardly complain if a GOP president "goes it alone" since they cheered Obama doing the same thing Personally I think the practice of bypassing Congress is wrong period but given the precedent set by the Dems there is no way to reverse it. It is like th nuclear option on filibusters. Once Dems did away with them the GOP was not going to restore it.
So what EOs and other executive action will President Cruz, or Trump (gd forbid), or Fiorina issue while in office?
