FLASHBACK: Biden Suggested Only "Dictators" Legislate By Executive Order, Then He Signs 33 In His First Week

It never made any sense to call a president whose executive orders were overturned and who eventually got kicked off of all social media a tyrant and a dictator since not too many tyrants and dictators throughout the history of Humankind had their orders contradicted or struck down by any legal body.

President Joe Biden has issued more executive orders in his first week in office - not yet complete, as of this writing - than any of his 45 predecessors.

As of January 25, 2021, Biden has 'issued 33 executive orders, actions, proclamations, memoranda and agency directives,' according to CNN. Twenty-one of these, according to the White House website, are executive orders.

President Donald Trump signed four in his first week in 2017; President Barack Obama signed five in 2009; President George W. Bush signed none in his first week in 2001; and President Bill Clinton signed one in 1993.

The historical norm for most presidents appears to be no more than a few executive orders, if any, in the first week.

Well, that's quite a number of executive actions, is it not? And what's more, Biden has new orders he'll be signing all this week as part of various "Themes," The Hill reports.

JoeBiden in October: "I have this strange notion, we are a democracy if you can't get the votes you can't [legislate] by executive order unless you're a dictator. We're a democracy. We need consensus."
