US EditionThe Road to One-Man Rule – Tyler Turman & Nikolai G. Wenzel
- The use of executive orders has been a common tool for U.S. presidents, with 46 of 47 administrations employing them since the early 20th century.
- This practice arises from the president's constitutional duty in Article II, Section 3, to ensure laws are faithfully executed despite no explicit constitutional provision for executive orders.
- Presidents like Abraham Lincoln and Franklin D. Roosevelt expanded executive power through orders such as the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation and New Deal programs, increasing federal actions significantly.

- This growing reliance on executive orders has raised concerns about bypassing Congress and eroding separation of powers, suggesting a need to reinforce constitutional limits through nondelegation and the Tenth Amendment.
