The Executive Order at that time was at least partially used as a tool to bypass the need for a vote so a congressmen could avoid having to take responsibility for something he supported for whatever reason but his constituents did not.
This is wrong, regardless of what party does it. Our officials are there to represent the people's wishes, not enact their own agenda and weasel around being held accountable for supporting any unpopular agenda.
Executive orders are exclusively for the President to use in order to enforce a law. They are not a law themselves, and they are not there to alter a law to a President's liking.
