He said he was going to be dictator on Day 1. He's going to pass these 100 Executive Orders, then sit back and relax. He'll fly around to warmer clims' and play golf, sell his junk. Maleria could coordinate the redecoration of the White House from her quarters in NYC. It will all fall into place after that 1st day.

I always thought the President proposes and the Congress disposes, that Congress holds the purse strings.
I guess I don't understand "Executive Orders" that well. Is there no one on DU who can iron out Exec Orders for us? If so, you have the stage. Kindly step forward and post and OP filling us all in on the particulars, please!
