An executive order to implement a tax to be imposed on all Americans is so clearly unconstitutional as to be out of the realm of possibility for all but the heartiest of tinfoil hat conspiracy theorists.

I would be curious as to the amount and scope of executive orders issued by the current president as compared to his predecessors, not to mention the "signing statements" put out by his immediate predecessor.
