147. I don't believe executive orders are constitutional

And obviously they have been abused by Chimpy. Would you want President Obama to sign something into law via Executive Order and then have someone challenge the Constitutionality of Executive Orders, possibly overturning what Obama signed in the process.

For example, I'd like to see Attorney General Edwards get a lot of Chimpy's crap taken off the books using this strategy, but I wouldn't want to lose anything good in the process.
