Sorry to have picked on your guy, but your chart doesn't really change anything. I was addressing whether or not the President really had a lot of power, and to my estimation he does because of the good ol' executive order, among other things. I guess it's my use of the word "king" that has upset you. I used it toward Obama and Bush because theirs are the presidencies I've paid the most attention to, since I was a teenager when Clinton was president. I'll just put "King" in front of all guys' names who have used it the same amount of times or more to be fair. That's not to say that every use of the executive order is unjustified, but I haven't always cared for the way that Obama or Bush used this power.
My "guy"? What the fuck, dude?
He's the President. I didn't vote for him (I couldn't). I'm just sick to death of all my Faux-News-misinformed relatives and neighbors harping on about how he uses executive orders for "everything", when in fact he has been one of the most restrained presidents in doing so.
That's fine. You made the mistaken assumption that I'm just like your relatives, and I made the mistaken assumption that he's "your guy".
