   The recently passed budget became law via one tie breaking vote.  It was   
   not an executive order.   
      
   The Courts are still a means of restraining executive orders that might   
   over-reach.

   Then Democrat FDR effectively ended democracy with 3,721 executive orders,   
   still by far the most. Trump only recently passed Democrat Clinton (364) and   
   is well short of Democrat Truman (907).   
   Accuse your opponent of exactly what you do.

   "Before 1932, uncontested executive orders had determined such issues as   
   national mourning on the death of a president and the lowering of flags to   
   half-staff.   
      
   President Franklin Roosevelt issued the first of his 3,721 executive orders   
   on March 6, 1933, declaring a bank holiday, and forbidding banks to release   
   gold coin or bullion. Executive Order 6102 forbade the hoarding of gold   
   coin, bullion and gold certificates. A further executive order required all   
   newly mined domestic gold be delivered to the Treasury.   
      
   By Executive Order 6581, the president created the Export-Import Bank of the   
   United States. On March 7, 1934, he established the National Recovery Review   
   Board (Executive Order 6632). On June 29, the president issued Executive   
   Order 6763 "under the authority vested in me by the Constitution", thereby   
   creating the National Labor Relations Board."   
      
   "...Roosevelt's successor, Harry S. Truman, had ordered private steel   
   production facilities seized in Executive Order 10340 to support the Korean   
   War effort: the Court held that the executive order was not within the power   
   granted to the president by the Constitution."   
      
   Those executive orders created the law, constitutionally the job of   
   Congress. The President's task is to enforce the law which Biden (162)   
   blatantly failed to do. Trump is only following the precedent the Democrats   
   established, they are hypocritically holding him to a double standard that   
   didn't apply to them.
