Franklin Roosevelt issued 3,728 executive orders during his administration, Richard Nixon created the EPA by executive order, and George W. Bush authorized warrantless wiretapping through executive order.
With guests Burt and Anita Folsom, Adam Freedman, and Neil McCabe, Andrew Wilkow on Friday discussed the history of executive orders.
