Executive orders are part of the presidency. I mean, seriously, do you have any idea how many executive orders were made by Regan, Bush1 or Bush2? Hell, the first president to use executive orders was Lincoln; are you questioning whether he was a president or king?
And, in all honesty, this is about the only way Obama is going to be able to accomplish anything. The GOP has made it crystal clear that they aren't going to approve any significant legislation that he'll ever be able to take credit for. I mean, had they ever bothered to write up their own immigration package, they'd have more to stand on. As it is, it feels like all they're doing is saying "No, I don't like your idea" without ever offering an idea of their own.
