I gave that as an example. Bush's EO in that matter only enlarged the list of diseases the EO was applicable toward. I am aware of what pandemic means. What I am asking is does it seem to anyone besides me that Bush is signing an awful lot of EOs without anyone knowing about it.
Mr. Clinton has averaged 45.8 executive orders a year, the least among the last eight presidents except for Mr. Bush, who averaged 42 per year.
Mr. Carter leads the pack with 80 per year, followed by Mr. Kennedy (76), and Gerald Ford (70). All, however, fell behind a pace that averaged 96 orders per year since 1862.
