PRESIDENTIAL EXECUTIVE ORDERS BY PRESIDENT

President Obama is accused of overstepping his bounds with overuse of Presidential Executive Orders;* however, and analysis shows that he sparsely used Executive Orders.   His use of Executive Orders is the fewest since Grover Cleveland.  It is dangerous for politicians to tell the truth.  See Figure 1 (Click on it to enlarge):**

* "Sen. Mike Lee charged that President Barack Obama had used executive orders to change laws for political benefits, and called the practice for that purpose 'unprecedented.'"(http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/Mike-Lee-Obama-executive-order/2014/01/30/id/549960)
  “There is a pattern of lawlessness in this administration that is breathtaking,” Cruz told Glenn Beck on his radio program Tuesday. (http://www.msnbc.com/politicsnation/cruz-obama-guilty-lawlessness)
