Executive Orders - Part 5/7

Many presidents have used and abused Executive Orders. But none can compete with FDR.

Most Presidents issue anywhere from 300-600 Executive Orders over the course of 8 years. Roosevelt issued a whopping 3,466 over the course of his presidency. Yes, he had 12 years in the White House, but nonetheless, allow me to break that down for you.

3,466/12 = 288.8 issued per year.
288.8/52 = 5.5 issued per week.
