The fact is each president has been gaining more and more executive power by misusing the real intent of executive orders. IMO some presidents like Obama at least used it for more noble purposes but still completely opposite it's intent. The problem is that for every 1 person like myself that is outraged when either side uses them there are 100 partisans that will get riled up when Obama or Bush or whomever uses them but not the other side. Now we get Trump where I think most people will grow tired of how much power he thinks he is supposed to have. Who is to blame? The clueless American public.
