In reply to the discussion: PRESIDENT ANNOUNCES 23 NEW EXECUTIVE ACTIONS! [View all]derby378
(30,252 posts)27. Believe it or not, guys, I'm cool with most of the Executive Orders

But most of this stuff is fine with me. We could use some additional data for our government to work with. You newbies should think twice about this - I'm a well-known gun-rights advocate here on DU, and I've got the Ignores to prove it.

The 23 'proposals' are NOT executive orders. They are Executive Actions/Proposals.
