It has all EOs at least as far back as FDR.

If so, I'm in.

I don't have any information to explain my point further, but I do not think comparing the numbers of executive orders among presidents has too much value without comparing the content of the executive orders in question.

That he signed after signing a law. The E.O. would basically nullify part or all of the law. And I don't remember anyone trying to sue him.

Obviously you support republicans suing, and ultimately impeaching President Obama. So what, if President Obama criticized it? He criticized it, because he was a senator in the opposing party. That's what politicians do, they criticize each other. But, President Obama never said Bush should be sued, or impeached for using executive orders. When was Bush impeached, or sued for using executive orders, or for anything? Never!
