I just looked to see how many executive orders have been issued by President. FDR is the grand prize winner with 3,728, (some of them had devastating consequences for Japanese citizens on us soil during WWII). The president with zero executive orders, William Henry Harrison. According to the Federal Register, as of 12 November, Trump has issued 195 Executive Orders.
Admittedly, Trump's use of this vehicle has been contentious and damaging. 195 the number of executive orders only and does not include other vehicles such as proclamations, memorandum, etc.
wow! thank you daria for researching that... it is now in perspective for me... and it tells me how difficult FDR’s task as president must have been... & i am hoping that joe biden can keep the tool of executive order in his back pocket for when he needs it.
Krishna Das, you can search on Wikipedia as well as the Federal Register. Wikipedia has it laid out on a handy table. You can peruse then dig deeper if you want!
One would think Biden could... Trump practically ruled via executive orders...
