What executive orders do you think Obama should create during his last year in ffice

He issued about 247 so far.

I think he should issue one about body cameras on all police if he is allowed to do. And I don't give a shit how much it costs.

(I just found he issued an order to take out military equipment). And in Feb 2014 he called on congress to pass order for camera but that has obviously been ignored)


Here are some numbers of other presidents executive orders

Franklin Roosevelt executive the most orders with 3,701

Ronald Reagan - 381

George W Bush 294

Barack Obama - 234

I would hope that there is some way, (like the anti abortion governors use) to make the governors of the states that refuse to adopt medicaid expansion to do so)

Here is a list of the orders Obama has implemented so far.

Just looking for ideas if anyone has one. I am sure that, we the people, can come up with more than the Democrats in Washington.

I don't know what he has issued about gun control safety.

by simply issuing a pardon. For some reason the Administration wants to keep him imprisoned.

Not sure if that requires EO, but I am pretty sure he can do it alone. It should have the same status as alcohol.
