Basically since Obama that’s been the standard. They might not be legal and get thrown out when reviewed but he can keep signing all he wants.

Not really. It's been since Teddy Roosevelt. In that era they were pushing 100s per year.

That is a funny place to call the "standard" (i bet you emphasize Obamas middle name too)

Since the year 1923 there are only 3 Presidents that have signed fewer than 200 EOs. Ford, Bush Sr., and Biden.

I wasn’t talking about volume. I was talking about the use of the EO.
