At both the state and federal level, the executive branch keeps sidestepping the constitution by issuing executive orders instead of letting laws be written by the congress. If we keep letting this happen, we will end up without the inalienable rights that were written into the Constitution. These rights were supposed to be protected by the balance of power between the three branches, and defended by an informed public. The president and governor are taking away our rights little by little.

Where you been the last 100 years?
Don't disagree at all. This started with Woodrow Wilson.
Well, there's an awakening for ya'
As noted above, where the fuck you been? Or wait, was it ok when Barack Hussein Obama used Executive powers to effectuate Federal agency policies...? I wonder!
First off, it's not side stepping Congress and is power vested to the Executive by law. Sorry to bust your liberal daydreaming.
Second, Congress enacts laws, and if in any time over the course of our history, they thought this to be unacceptable, they could outlaw it. It's called checks and balances of power. Something amazingly built into our Constitution, maybe you should read up on it.
Fact is because what's being done is disagreeable to you, does not make it unconstitutional, or unlawful. I suggest drinking more coffee and spend some time actually learning about what you want to talk (post) about... It might help!
Now, on a State level, you may be partially correct. But again, there are powers being used bestowed upon the Executive of the State, for "Public Safety" and again, unless your just arrived by spaceship, something not new to NY'ers...

Congress passing laws they have no constitutional power to is a much bigger issue.

Actually I mean huh in response to your screed.
It was wrong when Obama did it, its wrong when Trump does it, its wrong when FUAC does it.
I take ethical issue with the mechanism regardless of the outcome.

Constitution was fun while it lasted.
executive action should be for emergencies but they rarely are.
Well we have a so called emergency now (pandemic).... So no!

Maybe it's just me, or maybe because I have the time to watch right now. Maybe it's because everything is reported in real time. It just seems that executives are more emboldened--almost frivolous--in issuing order after order. The concern has always been that there are no checks on this power. The use of this power seems to be accelerating as citizens watch. Where is the outcry?
I'll say it again.
The moment you pass an EO, you should be removed from office. You must then prove it was nessisary to prevent the direct, imminent threat to the US. Guilty until proven innocent. (Innocent until proven guilty is for the citizens, not government.)
All EOs automatically expire in 24 hours. Plenty of time for congressional approval.
It should be such a dire thing to do it should never be done.

What if the EO was there can be no more EO's? 
I have been saying this all along! With the amount of businesses that were forced to stay idle and in turn some go out of business. With people's livelihoods turned upside down in so many forms I can't believe protests to end lock downs are not 1000 times that of BLM protests.
Instead we pay a clown $250,000 to make a decision as to if chicken fingers are a food or not.

Where in the constitution does it authorize the legislature to delegate it's powers to an agency of the executive branch ?
As far as I am concerned, all the regulations promulgated by executive agencies should have to be ratified by the legislature to take effect (at least).
What we have is the legislature writing a blank check for the executive to do anything it wants.
BEYOND upsetting!

There is always an emergency.
Whether it's a snow storm or a rain storm, or some completely man maid "crisis" there is *always* an emergency either in effect, or on deck if they need it.
Anyone have the stat for how many "state of emergency" declarations FUAC has issued since taking office ?
I don't know the number, but it's high enough you would have to spend some time counting them.

Well, the Legislature can actually delegate powers to the Executive Branch, it's been done, ie, Insurrection Act as an example. They also have given the Executive the ability to authorize military action for how many days without their stamp licking it? Otherwise EO's affect policy and shape the administration direction, it does not require law. But the legislature "COULD" reign in the Executive by actually "Enacting" a law which prescribes an agencies mandate, powers, etc. So it's the Executive taking advantage of a weak field, because all the Legislature does is quibble and bitch/moan about the other guy any more.
We all agree, as although on different paths, the top of the mountain offers us all the same view! Lol
Hahahaha

You are on the right track, but it’s actually Congress that is the problem here. They refuse to work together to do their job, and allow the Executive to do their job for them. In the same manner our state legislators are the ones to thank for the dictatorial powers Cuomo currently enjoys. They gave it to him.

Our government does a lot of things it's not supposed to.
That's hardly evidence that what they're doing is authorized by the constitution.
Like I've said before, you wont get your Freedom back until you fight for it like explained here. The Bundy's made that happen. @Marine Cpl wanted you to see this.
