Executive Orders
Throughout the Obama administration, it may appear that many of the laws that he has tried to get passed have not come to fruition.

In the past, U.S. presidents have issued executive orders to help officers and agencies of the executive branch manage the operations within the federal government, but there are limitations to the use and effectiveness of the executive order.
