Look at FDR
good lord
twice as many as the next
Reading back on those times, both parties (or at least their Presidents) sound more like Obama in how they tried to consolidate power in the executive branch
*super*-disappointing
Pretty sure there was a really bad fissure in the Republicans because of this, too
@Reaps they still teach civics but it's only for 1/2 a school year
the other half is economics
Depends on the school
Teddy was grooming his VP to be next President but Taft had other ideas
```Taft sought reductions to trade tariffs, then a major source of governmental income, but the resulting bill was heavily influenced by special interests. His administration was filled with conflict between the conservative wing of the Republican Party, with which Taft often sympathized, and the progressive wing, toward which Roosevelt moved more and more```
"the *progressive wing*, toward which *Roosevelt* moved *more and more*"
Would you technically count any carry over EOs as their as well? Since they could end them.
That's why I find EOs so dumb in the first place
Anything that can be enacted with an EO can be rescinded by another EO
Like, *just stop fucking with shit*
EOs were meant for short term immidiate issues
Not to replace laws
"but the legislative branch is complex and takes too long!"
That's the fucking *point*, to prevent sweeping changes to law being enacted with a wave of a single person's arm because he thinks he knows better

Temperature is reaching a point where it's annoying to type
12 degrees C
That's like 50 F
Don’t like the cold?
🇦🇺
50F is perfectly nice weather
It’s not cold enough to snow
generally at least 80 here
But isn’t it winter right now?
I'd move to NZ if I wanted 50
@Deleted User
Not yet
But, winter is coming
But watch. They will Sue Trump for overreach for the EO citing the very law they ignore and say is Trumps policy.
you can't expect consistancy from these people
Of course. But I think Trump is right. After mid terms they will drop it until 2020
If anybody ever needs proof to show people that these immigration laws were around during Obama.
he just enforced them
