Can the President, by executive order, circumvent Federal legislation? Would that not make him a legislator?

“The Obama administration said Friday it will allow some companies to kill or injure bald and golden eagles for up to 30 years without penalty....”

What are the names of those companies and where are they located? Guess some “visits” are in order.

In my understanding, an Executive Order is an administrative order from the Executive Branch of the government to the agencies, bureaus, and units directly under its supervision. It can have broad reaching implications because of the multiple agencies it directs who are charged with enforcing laws, rules and regulations.

To my mind, an EO cannot directly tell ME to do anything and I would not comply. That is not to say some agency could not come down on me harshly for violating one of their silly ass rules. I digress.

It is my understanding that Executive Orders can be rescinded and have been, primarily by Democrat Presidents upon entering the office. I believe most of the past Republican Presidents have not been so quick to do so, except perhaps President Reagan.

I believe that for me to support anyone on the conservative or Republican side, he/she would have to swear conclusively that he/she would undo all of Obama’s Executive Orders. It is a deal breaker for me along with Amnesty, budgeting and a few other things.
