Hello, to whomever views this blog. It has been awhile, but today I am writing about Executive Orders. Executive Orders are used to implement a change immediately to a law or to stop implementing a law. Presidents have become more adept to use executive orders especially when the Congress is not approving of the goals they want to accomplish. Executive Orders can be good and bad for Americans. Orders can be good if they are used to acutally help the people and they can be bad if they are used to eliminate the rights of the people or intentionally surpass the governments checks and balances.
Lately, President Obama has come under scrutiny for the issuing of executive orders because they are being used to surpass the checks and balances of the government and to show Congress that he can o what he wants when he wants too. This is bad because the President is slowly able to take power from the other branches of government who can serve as a check on the executive branch. Furthermore, this could alienate the people because constitutional rights could become limited.
The point I am trying to make is be watchful of President Obama as he uses to further his political goals in which he sometimes hides as a way of helping the people. These executive orders make him less answerable to the people, the state governments, other branches of the national government, and the media.
Do not be surprised if he becomes more tyrannical during the last years of his term.
