Governor's don't have the power of issuing executive orders that a president has. He couldn't do it without the approval of the legislature. Don't be like a liberal and make it up as you go along.

Ummm, a referendum is not an executive order.

Massachusetts Constitution Excerpts

Article V: .. All power residing originally in the people, and being derived from them, the several magistrates and officers of government, vested with authority, whether legislative, executive, or judicial, are their substitutes and agents, and are at all times accountable to them.

Article XXX: .. In the government of this commonwealth, the legislative department shall never exercise the executive and judicial powers, or either of them: the executive shall never exercise the legislative and judicial powers, or either of them: the judicial shall never exercise the legislative and executive powers, or either of them: to the end it may be a government of laws and not of men.


I'll dismiss the name calling on your part.

Oh and by the way, not that I declared they did or didn't, Massachusetts governors do possess authority to issue excutive orders.
