I have posted and faxed several times here on the BillboTex
Blog-A-Sphere on Obama’s abuse of the “signing statement”, “executive order,
and “line-item veto. These three tools
are very helpful to facilitate the smooth functioning of the federal
machine. The problem is when a president
who disregards the Constitution, and also has a hidden agenda uses them to “make
law”, “amend law”, and to “extend law” – ALL WITHOUT THE NECESSARY APPROVAL OF
THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT!
A GREAT example of Obama’s abuse is his commitment of US troops
into combat in Libya, under the control of foreign commanders from the United
Nations, and because there was no “immediate danger to the US”, that action MUST be
approved by the Congress. If the
Democrats didn’t have a strangle hold on the Senate, Congress should have de-funded such an
obviously transparent unconstitutional act by Obama.
Obama Promises to NEVER use Signing Statements like Bush did - CLINTON USED MORESIGNING STATEMENTS THAN BUSH, & OBAMA IN ONLY THREE YEARS ALSO USED MORE SIGNING STATEMENTS THAN BUSH SIGNED IN EIGHT YEARS!
Presidential signing statements and executive orders have
been much in the news, as has the revival of the concept of the line-item veto.
Can a president, via a signing statement, effectively amend a bill as he signs
it into law, by virtue of written his words? Can the president make law via an
executive order and, if so, does his power extend outside the boundaries of the
executive branch of government? Can a line-item veto authority created by
statute ever survive Supreme Court scrutiny?
Each item below has a link to the Executive Order or a PDF of the signed
document for your review. Most of the
Ececutive order links below are followed by a short synopsis of the order. All links open in a new window.The List of President Obama's Executive Orders runs in descending order from the most recent.

Executive Order 13579 - Regulation and Independent Regulatory Agencies
Wise regulatory decisions depend on public participation and
on careful analysis of the likely consequences of regulation. Such decisions
are informed and improved by allowing interested members of the public to have
a meaningful opportunity to participate in rule making. To the extent permitted
by law, such decisions should be made only after consideration of their costs
and benefits (both quantitative and qualitative).

Executive Order 13578 - Coordinating Policies on Automotive Communities and Workers
July 6, 2011
Executive Order 13578 - Coordinating Policies on Automotive Communities and Workers
Section 1. Policy. Over the last decade, the United States
has experienced a decline in employment in the automotive industry and among
part suppliers. This decline accelerated dramatically from 2008 to 2009, with
more than 400,000 jobs being lost in the industry. Now, 2 years later, the
American automotive industry is beginning to recover. The automotive industry
has, over the past 2 years, experienced its strongest period of job growth
since the late 1990s. Exports have expanded, and the domestic automakers in
2010 gained market share for the first time since 1995. The automotive supply
chain, which employs three times as many workers as the automakers, has also
shown renewed strength. However, we still have a long way to go.

Executive Order 13555 - White House Initiative On Educational Excellence For Hispanics
Hispanic students are the largest minority group in our Nation's schools, numbering more than 11 million in our public elementary and secondary school system, and constituting more than 22 percent of all pre-K–12 students. Hispanic students face educational challenges of crisis proportions. Fewer than half of all Hispanic children participate in early childhood education programs, and far too few Hispanic students graduate from high school; of those who do complete high school, many are not adequately prepared for college. Only 12 percent of adult Hispanics have a bachelor's degree, and just 3 percent have completed graduate or professional degree programs.
The Executive order puts in place an Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics, to be housed in the Department of Education. The mission of the Initiative shall be to help restore the United States to its role as the global leader in education and to strengthen the Nation by expanding educational opportunities and improving educational outcomes for Hispanics of all ages and by helping to ensure that all Hispanics receive a complete and competitive education that prepares them for college, a career, and productive and satisfying lives.
