RE: If Lincoln had not died
Quote:As for the use of executive orders, I think the seemingly overuse that is occurring now is what is a matter of concern - more so than whether people agree with individual actions or not. But, as I have stated before, I tilt right. Actually, the facts don't bear that out. As of September, according to the American Presidency Project, Obama had issued 144 executive orders. Preceding him: George W. Bush--291 Bill Clinton--364 George H.W. Bush--166 Ronald Reagan--381 Jimmy Carter--320 At the end of his presidency, Theodore Roosevelt had issued 1,081 executive orders while FDR in 12 years issued 3,522. Abraham Lincoln issued 48. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg
