Introduction to "Executive Orders:Use or Abuse"
“To conquer a nation first disarm its citizens.” Adolf Hitler believed that to control a nation the citizens need to become “disarmed”: disarmed of weapons, unheard in their opinions, and overstepped in the government process. While Hitler was eventually stopped, however, there is a current leader disarming citizens. The President of the United States of America has recently been signing executive orders to pass legislation not approved by congress or the American public. President Obama has proven to overstep boundaries with his executive orders when he undermines Congressional power, risks national security, advances Presidential agenda, removes bipartisan support, and contradicts public opinion.
