Executive orders can be benign or they can be a serious affront to the Constitution. Mostly the mainstream media does their best to justify E.O.'s by democrat administrations. FDR's notorious E.O. 9066 ordered the incarceration of innocent American citizens without due process and the media ignored or justified it. Harry Truman sent Troops to Korea on an E.O. and we lost 35,000 in three years. The media called it the "forgotten war" and gave Truman a tickertape parade. Locally it seems that an E.O. by the democrat former governor of NY caused the deaths of an estimated 10,000 mostly senior citizens in nursing homes. The media ignored it.
