U.S. President Donald Trump holds up an executive order during a signing ceremony that calls for upfront disclosure by hospitals of actual prices for common tests and procedures to keep costs down, at the White House in Washington, Monday, June 24, 2019. WASHINGTON -- It wasn't too long ago that Donald Trump derided presidential executive orders as "power grabs" and a "basic disaster.

But Trump appears to have learned what his predecessors discovered as well: It's easier and often more satisfying to get things done through administrative action than to get Congress to go along, said Andrew Rudalevige, a professor at Bowdoin College who studies the history and effectiveness of presidential executive actions.

An executive order can have the same effect as a federal law -- but its impact can be fleeting. Congress can pass a new law to override an executive order and future presidents can undo them. He famously declared in 2014: "We're not just going to be waiting for legislation in order to make sure that we're providing Americans the kind of help they need. I've got a pen, and I've got a phone."

Still, Rudalevige says that comparing executive orders from one president to the next can provide a misleading snapshot of a president's propensity for taking executive action. That's because presidents also use memoranda and proclamations to achieve policy goals or to get the message out about their priorities. One president's executive order might be another's memoranda, or phone call even.

Wow, that’s saying something😳

If only he used executive orders for the good, instead of ruining almost everything with them.

This simply threw liberals into spin, they lost their narrative, they don’t want to admit that Obama started an awful trend of political confrontation, but this refusal also stripped them the ability to criticize realDonaldTrump

Yeah let’s not do any investigation of Trudeau and the child. Go get your Patrick Brown investigators on the case. Oh yes wrong party. Rotten in hell ctv.

I'm just waiting for a executive order pardoning himself from his crimes.

And JustinTrudeau is a groper a Thief and pedo.

yea-we know...

Black Sharpie®️ Man.

SO ? GET ON BOARD OR GET RUN OVER 🇺🇸👇🇺🇸

I can't wait to see his landslide win in 2020 and what the fake media does leading up to it.

Thats because its the only thing he's capable of doing. 'Sign this'

Considering what he's signing into law since his election, not really something to brag about.

His days are numbered, thus the rush.

He’s definitely in competition with Obama

Seeing as most of that stuff was immoral to evil like banning trans from military to caging up children in cages, banning muslims from entering usa to giving the rich more money as they keep laying of in droves forcing people to work multiple jobs but hey sure make seem positive

Copying President Obama LoL

He should the support Trudeau.

Difference was, obama always did it to help America and Americans. Trump does it to enrich himself by letting special interest groups that are bent on destroying the world for profit. Big difference

Who cares? This isn’t news. Want a little news? Obama left over 100 federal court judges vacancies. Trump has filled them. Obama was so corrupt he didn’t even do his most important job as a democrat, filling federal seats. Huge win for conservatives.

Quality over quantity

I hope they get there ass sued Shame on them. Really pathetic. Definitely do not buy their rags.
