USA: Obama issues 'executive orders by another name MOST EVER

Most executive actions since Harry Truman, or MOST EVER memoranda, and the most combined executive actions since Harry Truman of WW2 fame.

Gregory Korte, USA TODAY

By issuing his directives as "memoranda" rather than executive orders, Obama has downplayed the extent of his executive actions.

Washington-President Obama has used a form of executive action known as the presidential memorandum more than any other president in history-using it to take unilateral action even as he has issued fewer executive orders.

When these two forms of directives are taken together, Obama is on track to take more high-level executive actions than any president since Harry Truman six decades ago.

He has used memoranda to make policy on gun control, immigration and labor regulations.

Like executive orders, presidential memoranda don't require action by Congress. They have the same force of law as executive orders and often have consequences just as far reaching.

So, Obama's people cry that he isn't using his executive powers, but these reporters have exposed that as JUST ANOTHER OBAMA LIE.
