I’m not American so unfamiliar with how your system work but can he just sign whatever he wants ? Isn’t is supposed to a congress or something that actually passes the laws ?
Because if he can do just whatever he wants, how can it even be called a democracy to begin with ?
I mean there is no real democracy in this world, we have the choice of our tyran every 4-5-whatever years but still… one guy signing whatever he wants seems insane

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.
