I believe that Rex and Tuba now have some legitimate competition in the race to the bottom.

is there any sort of comparison as to the scope of the effects of the executive orders?
i will guarantee you that obama's EOs were much more impactful, without knowing a single EO from coolidge (simply due to their existence pre and post-New Deal)

it's not that quantity, it's the content.

as a libertarian, i'm trying to think of which policies (especially teh ones people are riled up about) that i'd call laughable

Wide open border, de facto amnesty orders by the POTUS, and in the near future, "fundamental change" via demographic electoral power. And the 40% of Americans who want to keep their Constitutional Republic/Individual Freedom...are to do what, Sam? Just lay down a give up, after generations before us have died by the hundreds of thousands to preserve it?
Geez. Blowback is going to be a bitch, if they keep pushing this stuff! Ask Morsi...and the Brotherhood!

Have you taken the time to compare the nature of those orders?

there are 2 things that have led to the gridlock in DC (aka, the 2010 elections)
1. the biggest is the bailout of 2008. this is what created the schism on the right, which created the "small government" wave
2. Obamacare being shoved down the throats through bullshite procedures when the DEMs had both houses and the presidency
this led to 2010, which has led to gridlock while stealing a phrase from Obama, "elections have consequences"

Did Calvin Coolidge slam his predecessor for doing so back when he was a senator like Obama did with Bush?

Bayou Sam and all other Obama supporters - why are you all so loyal to Obama? Do you know him personally? Related?
It doesn't concern you at all when elected officials violate the law and exceed their authority? Are you not concerned about guarding the freedoms we enjoy (or used to enjoy)?
Its no longer about Democrats vs Republicans - its now about pro-US Constitution vs anti-US Constitution. (anti-US Constitution means you are ok with redefining original intent.)

Well, seeing as they both happened around the same time, is it really relevant as to which one "started it"? Couldn't it have been a combination of both?

Coolidge was perhaps the best President of the 20th century.

than Barack Obama. Calvin fricking Coolidge. Just saying.
How many of them were overreaching and/or anti-constitutional?
