Trump Says He Will Order Voter ID Requirement For Every Vote

71. Republicans hate executive orders, except when they don't (From 2015)

When Obama circumvents lawmakers with executive actions, the right sees a scandal. When Republicans do it, suddenly conservatives don't mind.

In recent years, it seems every time President Obama tires of Congress' ineptitude and takes executive action, Republicans use it as clear evidence of Obama's tyrannical tendencies. It's up to elected legislators to approve new policies, we're told, and it's up to chief executives to implement those policies.

Executive orders, the argument goes, undermine the American system and show contempt for institutional norms. "Executive overreach" is a threat to us all.

Whether or not the president's critics ever actually believed these talking points, it's interesting how much conservatives are outraged by executive actions, except when they're not.
