Gawd this is delicious , for extra joy read the snowflake's meltdowns in the comments.

The 10 executive actions Trump has signed (so far)

Looks like immigration is for desert on Wed.
"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump was expected to sign several executive orders restricting immigration on Wednesday, at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, according to several congressional aides and immigration experts briefed on the matter.

Trump's orders were expected to involve restricting access to the United States for refugees and some visa holders from Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen, said the aides and experts, who asked not to be identified."

I don't know, someone definitely deleted some posts in the appendix carry thread of mine :ROFL:

Either way, I'm all for LESS government and that includes term limits. That would be a sweet cherry on top of a supreme court appointee or two. As bad as it sounds fingers crossed that RBG is on her last leg.

Good point. But I'd guess to wager that this is the new world we live, as is the smartphone era, the 24hr cable news era and anything else that has became the "new norm". I guess it's pretty much Obama to blame, but somthing we will not see change for 4 or possibly 8 years then after that the song will probably be the same too...

I'm still not a fan of Exec orders at all, but I just LOVE seeing the left posting stuff like:

"And he removed this program, with LITERALLY no help from anyone else. NO congressional approval, NO vote! WHAT A TYRANT!"

Unfortunately, NY
I don't like presidents legislating with a pen. It's very dangerous and is a terrible precedent. Unfortunately the precedent has been set.

I'm ok with the trumpster's executive orders so far because they mostly restore American sovereignty, enforce or strengthen existing law, roll back some of Obama's executive orders and restore laws to be more constitutional.

But I am not a fan of them as a concept. Of he can ever get control of the country back I want due process. I want the legislature to legislate.

We have a 3 branch gvt. For a reason. We do not want a king.

Remember just because we like what trump is doing now, 4 years from today we might be having anxiety attacks at the thought of (insert socialist here) legislating with a pen.

Trumps final act should be to legislate an end to executive orders in matter of law.

Alright... libs are having a meltdown. I like that.

But let's seem some pro 2A actions here. Seriously.

Real question. Is the president able to over-ride any ATF regulations in an executive order?

I'm also not a fan of executive orders but they have to be done to fix this country. There are too many things broken that can't get tied up with legislation.

His executive orders aren't illegal. There's nothing illegal about building a wall or stopping immigration from terroristic countries. That shouldn't have to be debated by politicians.

Also as far as health-care goes, an executive order requiring you to pay for it is bad. An executive order giving you the choice to either pay for it or not is good. His executive order in that respect doesn't force anything on anyone.

No longer Secret, thanks DR. Evil
I have never been a fan of EO's. I do not care who is signing them. They are fine to name an airport or a road, but to make policy with them is wrong, wrong on both sides of the isle.

It is fun though, to see the Liberals shitting their pants as they watch the President shred Obummers EO's.

The fact of the matter is that Barack Hussein Obama utilized the EO's to CIRCUMVENT the Legislative Branch of our Gov't. With the majority in his pocket, many of the EO's You See him signing in all probability will become a law at some point. Lol...

Major difference!

So...executive orders are perfectly acceptable now? What a difference a week makes..........

Keep in mind, something like the wall is merely enforcing an already existing law. And some are simply undoing nobamas EOs... so in short id say yes. But it depends on what the EO is addressing.

I will also add that I don't think any president should abuse executive orders, or try to completely obliterate our process of checks and balances simply to push their own agenda. Clearly that is what Obama has done, and to some extent it is needed to undo everything he fucked up.

What if Trump issued an EO that NY SAFE was not to be enforced?

He doesn't have the authority to interfere with a state law enforced by state assets unless the law is unconstitutional and one would hope that if that were the case, it would be struck down in the courts. I don't want a president to trample states rights either, even if those rights mean garbage ass laws like SAFE.

For me, id rather see the trump admin sue nys over the unsafe as we all know its clearly unconstitutional. An eo could easily be undone by the next profressive pres.
