"In fact, President Obama hasn’t even used the executive order all that much. Five years into his presidency, he’s issued 167 executive orders – about 33.4 per year.
Here are the last four presidents who’ve served consecutive terms and how many executive orders they’ve issued, as well as their average per year:
Ronald Reagan: 381 total, 47.6 per year
Bill Clinton: 364 total, 45.5 per year
George W. Bush: 291 total, 36.4 per year
Barack Obama: 167 so far, 33.4 per year (projected total 267)
And no, those numbers aren’t “liberally biased” – they’re all linked and sourced to our National Archives.
So I’ll just go ahead and clarify these numbers for those who might not be able to understand them.
Out of the past four two-term presidents, the one who’s issued the most executive orders would be – “conservative hero,” “fiscally responsible,” “small government loving,” “Constitutional legend” Ronald Reagan."
