Either way, I think it is important to remember that what goes around comes around. The people who were fine with Obama using executive orders to go around Congress should be concerned about Trump having the same power. Or bemoaning the filibuster when it thwarts the Democrat majority...until Republican take the Senate. I truly believe that the losers always want to change the rules and the winners want things to stay the same....until the situation is reversed.
That is the main issue, and what I believe needs changed. It seems like the last 16 years, abuse of executive orders is getting worse. There are a number of issues, that I don't believe have anything to do with the Presidency. Both the executive and judicial branches seem to be encroaching more and more into legislative. And as you say, we are more tolerant, when it is our pet positions.
I heard about this on the Eric Metaxes show, thought it may be of interest to you.
