President Lincoln signed an Executive order. and with that Executive order 152 years ago. the Emancipation Proclamation freed 3 million slaves in the United States of America. Barack Obama is not the first President to issue an Executive order nor is he the first President to issue one which affects millions of people. Which President held the record for an Executive order giving rights to 1.5 million immigrants in this country before Barack Obama? George Herbert Walker Bush. In fact. virtually every President since Eisenhower has issued an Executive order relative to immigration. Now we didnt see Republican hair on fire when it was being done by President George W. Bush or George Herbert Walker Bush. It is only when Barack Obama does it that they scream and rage it is unconstitutional. Yet lets look at the argument they are making. Senator COLLINS is making the argument that the Executive order signed by President Obama. known as DACA. that affected children who might qualify under the DREAM Act and could protect up to 2 million young people in America. was legal. I agree. She says her bill that she is offering today reflects that.
