99. That would not do anything about the people on death row
The death penalty is usually carried out by the States, not the federal government. Kucinich's executive order would nothing more than a PR ploy having no impact whatsoever.

On top of all that, Kucinich would be continuing the bad precedent that previous Presidents have followed in undermining our federal system of government by fiat.
